I picked up a nice little HP Omnibook 600C from someone here on the list, and after a few
minutes of playing with it the hard drive decided it did not like its new home. Hey, no
worries, stuff happens. It's a PCMCIA hard drive, so I plugged a CF card into a
PCMCIA adapter and voila!, I have a new C: drive. But unfortunately, when the disk did
its swan dive it took with it all the custom drivers and such that HP loads on it. That
may explain why I can't get apparently simple things to work. So, does anyone have
one of these machines or its startup disk, and are you willing to share? Thanks -- Ian
