Re: Viper PCMCIA Harddrives
Walt Nicholas reports... I saw an item that peaked my interest enough to buy one. Surplus Computers of Santa Clara has three sizes of Viper PCMCIA Harddrives, 170 meg, 240 meg and 300 something. They fit in my PB3400 through the dual size PCMCIA slot. The info says they're a type 3 card. They initialize, and format and I've loaded 8.0 and 8.6 on one each for trouble shooting. Yes I guess with flash cards coming down and I saw a CompactFlash media card for $20 for 128meg. So maybe it's just nothing, so one of my few posts is now about nothing, and totally out of sync with the current thread. That's what I love about these lists. No body will say a thing..

I bought one of the 340MBers for US$19.50 shipped: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=6701021474 pretty nifty. I benchmarked it in a 1400/G3/9.1 using TimeDrive 3. IIRC (being that my 1400 seems to be trying to torch itself at the moment, see other thread) it was doing reads and writes in the 1.5MB/s vicinity. dan k . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Viper PCMCIA Harddrives
Got my toasty 1400 up, works fine now it's cooled off. Reviewed the details of my benchmarking, proving once again how fawlty is my memory: Viper 340mb PCcard HD avg read = 1.8MB/s avg write= 1.7MB/s I copied to it my startup OS9.1 and utils folders, boots this 1400 OK. I'd be interested to know its power consumption, but too lazy just now to go a'googling. :-) dan k . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
