Expansion options for a 5300?

2002-11-01 Thread Michael R. Hicks
List, Is there any way to expand memory on a 5300 using the Type II card slots? For example, can one make a RAM Disk, using memory from say, a Type II memory card and place the operating system onto that? If so, is system performance improved? Any help is appreciated, thanks. -- Michael R.

You might try a compact flash card with a pcmcia adapter. That would show up as ram. Bruce -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com | Enter To Win A | -- Canon PowerShot Digital Cameras start at $299

If it works in the 1400 and 5300 as I have, it can only work better in a fancy-dancy 3400 ;) *Smile* yes, yes *sigh* fancy-dancy 3400 indeed - gsh. Everyone on this list knows, of course, just to be clear, that a 1400 properly souped up is about as fancy-dancy as they get *he he he* ;-)

Michael, You can use a Compact Flash card (or any card that has a type II PCMCIA reader, I'd guess) as a quasi-hard drive (that's how it shows up on the desktop) for virtual memory or for cache memory in web browsers. It does NOT increase the amout of RAM you can use, so use as a RAM disk is
