I've had no luck using a PCMCIA ATA Flash card to boot a Powerbook (G3 Lombard). I don't know at this point whether it's a bad card or a fundamental problem with that card type. …

If you do _not_ need the SCSI target disk mode but want to have plenty of storage, get a recent hdd that produces not too much noise. Avoid the old travelstar models. Consider to b…

As far as PowerBooks go, so long as they're IDE inside, you can use any bloody drive you like. I yanked the 30 gigger in my Pismo right now out of an old Sony lappy

Thanks for that recommendation -- an external power jack is a definite plus. I'm sure I can dig up an Adaptec around these parts. Now I know what to look out for. Thanks again!

I've heard that those cards based on NEC chipsets have the best performance and compatibility under OS X. I'm using an Adaptec AUA-1420A, (NEC-based) and have had no problems with …

Thanks, Byrd -- it's good to know that you haven't had any bad experiences. I see generic cards around here for $5-10 pretty regularly. At those prices, I should just try one. If i…
