Is this completely out of the question? ---------- As far as I know, yes, it is, indeed, completely out of the question. I've been interested in this, too. All the Mac experts say the slot on the 1400 is 16 bit, i.e., there is _no way_ to get a 32 bit card to work at all, so USB and Firewire devices are out of the question as far as the PC card slot goes. Disappointing, I know.
You can use modem cards that conform to the PCMCIA 2.1 standard and flash cards and hard disk cards that conform to the ATA standard. That's pretty much it. Sorry I couldn't bring better news; please don't shoot the messenger. Best regards, Ken N. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
