Reed - I have one of these I got off of the eBay working in an 800ct running
Win98.  I was trying to extend the battery life but as I remember I didn't
get a whole lot more life out of it and had a bit of trouble with the
suspend. Scott Stewart

Hi:
Just wondering if you ever got this to work. We would be interested in doing
something similar with a 2 gb flash card and ide to CF adapter on our
8000ct's. Currently, when installed, if you F2 into the bios, it shows a
hard drive of the correct size but when you let it attempt to boot, the
startup progresses through the two " Configuring [Bridge Controller]"
messages, then restarts and shows three lines

166 Mhz Pentium CPU
External Cache: 512K enabled
Invalid or damaged Bootable partition

and stops. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
