Since it isn't running NT, that's a little hard to do :-(.  The IDE
controller/bios don't like compact flash either.  I have purchased a
removable drive kit and am using that when I get time to test
kernels.  That works almost as well...

Is this due to cost or something else?  My rPC44 motherboard could fit
into an AT case that has enough space for it, so if a rPC44 was found
on ebay, then all one would need to ship would be the motherboard,
which wouldn't be all that expensive....
