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.

Tip of the Day

Holding the Command key (aka the Apple key) and pressing Tab will cycle through your open applications. It's easier to Cmd-Tab if you are Copy (Cmd-C) and Pasting (Cmd-V) to and from various applications.
