PowerBook Compact Flash Drive

powerbook compactflash hackHack a Day points to a great little hack on an old PowerBook 150, where the hard drive was replaced with a 32MB CompactFlash drive. It didn't take right away, as the 150 didn't recognize the CF card as a proper ATA drive, so some good old fashioned hackish trickery was in order.

The result: "So, now I have my ideal portable I.F. device -- completely silent, low power, and rugged enough to use balanced on my knee without any fear of provoking another head crash. And the distinction of containing a neat piece of hardware hackery!"

Cool.
