That's not entirely true either. I had a 2400c that worked worked with cardbus cards out of the box. I guess I got one of the later ones. It worked with a firewire card and a Wavelan card (with airport drivers). That does kinda make sense, because the 2400c was sold until 1998 (when the

Thanks both of you for posting this - I had ordered a 40GB from Dell [it made me feel dirty] because I got an excellent price on it but it was only 4200rpm so this drive being only $15 more or so ... well, I am returning the 4200rpm drive to Dell [which wouldn't format anyway]. Thanks again as

I also just got a return number for a drive from Dell, it was the 40GB you are talking about, simply won't format. I have had tons of trouble with them in the past month or so ... now I have more reason to hate them than before I bought from them. OWC is a good place as Hal said but GoogleGear

Hey Pete, I have a Pismo and love it, went from 320MB to 768MB of RAM shortly ago, 512MB DIMMs work just fine, no strange behavior. Yes you can just shove in a larger drive, I am going to replace my 10GB with a 5400rpm 40GB from IBM shortly. Mine is a 400MHz model and I have run Mac OS X

Just the usual ones - get good reliable SODIMM's, and keep your Pismo plugged in when swapping the battery (the 1GB RAM load is too much for the backup batter, so you'd lose your PRAM settings - or whatever they're called now) I don't see this with 768MB and a buddy of mine does not see

So as I embark on my migration from several Umax towers to a Pismo, I'm wondering how much of my old gear I can bring with me. The only requirement is that it doesn't make a sound. (I almost went for the Cube instead of Pismo for its totally fanless operation, but the Pismo won out for the ease of
