howdy. no, the 1400 series use ide/ata 2.5 drives. I think the original wanted to know the speed of CF as a method of having faster additional memory in his 1400. (ie. putting the virtual memory on the CF card instead of on the hard drive) I'm in the same pickle. I have the pcmcia-CF reader,

Very good advice indeed. One tip that I've not seen in the docs, when using Intelligent Battery Recondition. When you have an unrecognizable battery try launching IBR with the right bay empty. When it asks for a batt. plug it in. IBR should then go into Extended Precharge. May take 10-15 min. to
