Hi folks,
A while back I read something about using flash memory as RAM for a
1400, which is very RAM limited. Where can I read more about this?
Feel free to email me directly as well as post here.
Thanks,

Hello,
after reading the various messages on using PCMCIA flash memory as start-up-device on
older PowerBooks on this list and Dan Knight's article on LowEndMac I got curious and
think about using it on my PB 540c (36 MB RAM and OS 7.6.1) as a means to reduce

I've used a Viking adapter, sold to me (used) with my PCMCIA module, and an
Epson adapter, which I bought new for use with PCs. Both seem fine, with no
differences noticed. The cards are at work, or I'd include model #'s. I can
give those model #s to you in the future, if you want.
