Hmmm, Probably could stick it into my Multia, which could run NT from a SCSI

laptop) drive, what's stopping us from sticking in something bigger
capacity? I can't remember what the HDD size limit is in DOS 5.0...
I wonder, what kind/size drive is in there? Can it be upgraded?
AFAIK, standard 2.5" IDE. John ain't shy about disassembling his
toys, and the last resort idea was to pull the hdd, put it in a
desktop, install Linux, and put it back, so I bet it's IDE.
It is a Neat
Thing, isn' tit? Let me know if I can be of help. I have
the
null modem cable, floppy drive, 2 power
supplies...
Didn't know there was a floppy option available.... But that would be
cheating. The challenge that started the flame war (which, of course, I
avoided completely... not) was how to make it boot a Linux kernel &
pcmcia drivers without floppy drive or CD....
