1. Can I use a PCMCIA compactflash adapter and a 64mb CF card as a fast hdd? I want to play TotalChaos from there, since this game accesses th hd continously and that's not so sexy... (I think there's a tool on aminet allowing this...It was born for digital cameras users anyway...)
Right! On aminet there is a nice driver for such funny cards, called compactflash.device - specially for such adapters.
The only problem: it isn't really that fast, AND - you have to use FAT16 system. I've tried to mount PFS on such a card, but some problems arise... I don't know what is it, but I'll try FFS and SFS as well.
A little hint: PFS needs correct hicyl/lowcyl/etc, you can learn it using CheckDisk from aminet.
