Tried it, it works great. Now if I could only find working batteries.

I'm thinking about getting one of those for like important stuff like Banking and stuff. Hope they can go online.

Thanks for the great idea about compact flash - just got the reader & memory for $20 on NewEgg - hope they are compatible!

Imagine, if it would be possible to get a PC card adapter for SD CARDS! That powerbook could have like... 4GB of storage, is it possible to do this?

Wow... I timed it using the video's timer, and from my count, the HDD boots up from 0:41 to 1:25 (from the 'welcome to macintosh' to the time the MacOS logo goes away and it shows the desktop) wihch is 44 seconds, and the CF card boots up in 19 seconds, from 4:09 to 4:28

I've got a 520c how do you get the keyboard off.

[omgyjyaswitchx]

I'm totally going to do this. I'm purchasing a PB540C next week.

is that the ram only 512 megabyte that like 10 years more years ago

[whizkid515]

Um... no. The Compact Flash Card is 512 MB. How old are you, 10? You wouldn't remember the days when 512MB RAM was unheard of.

[masliliks]

geesh, 512mb of ram on this mac would make it fly to the moon and come back in 60 seconds :D

anyway, uuber cool !!

[whizkid515]

My 6 year old computer came with 512MB RAM which was unheard of then lol.

[TheGeek1028]

My 4 year old computer came with 512MB RAM which was mediocre compared to the rest of the specs. (Look on my channel to see the rest of the specs, it's the T6212.)

Cool!
