Jay is correct. Drive Setup will see any ATA/IDE PC Card as a "potential"
hard drive. I'm not sure if this is the same for the CD-ROM drive but
I've formatted both PC Card HDs and an external PC Card interface external
drive (the original HD from the 2400). The 2400 also recognizes that the
device is a storage device and I have install Apple drivers on the PC
Card. So, at least part of the OS will recognize an ATA/IDE device in the
PC Card slots.
Hope this helps.
