My CF adapter showed up today!! It was shipped fast!!! First glitch was there is an extra pin. The harddrive plug off the computer has one pin deleted. So after a five second thought process I bent the pin out of the way and plugged in the adapter. The PB1400 fired up showing flashing floppy. I installed O.S. 7.5.3 onto an older 256mb Kingston CF card. It took a couple of tries to get it finished. It's boots up faster, and everything works about the same, maby a bit faster. I will nip off the extra pin so the adapter sits flush in the harddrive plug in. I had the 256 CF cards handy so I used them. They had a previous life in a camera. I want to get some 1gb CF cards, I will look for older ones, there seems to be problems with newer CF cards. The best thing is the cost of the adapter!! Delivered to my door(Canada) from Hong Kong $3.98U.S. It is awesome to have the PB1400 sitting there running silent!!!!
