OT? IDE flash drive in OLD pc.

Not Really Me · 2007-12-20T15:36:02+00:00

Pardon if this is off topic too far.We would like to replace the hard drive in a '93 vintage PC with one of those little IDE flash drives that plugs right into the mb connector.The first attempt failed. The bios is old enough that it won't auto-select the drive so the params have to be entered manually. Unfortunately the US dist doesn't understand the question on drive geometry.Does anyone know of an IDE flash drive that will work in an old pc (pre LBA capable)?Scott

Really? Where?

Exactly where I'd like to use one if they existed.

Oh, so you claim to know things I don't. Can you please prove it.

Yes, looks like someone either has built it or wants to. Anyone seen this working?

Probably from PCMCIA memory cards.
