[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 1018905, member: 325666"] Treated myself to a couple of 'toys' t0 play with ..from China ..wherelse.. so will have to wait a while .. 1x 40 pin IDE to Compact flash adapter .. This one claims bootable ..but we shall see. Some are some aren't but it has much to do the CF itself... but at £2.00 each ..a risk worth taking.. and 1x SD (full sized not micro or mini) to IDE ..adapter ..(also bootable) This requires an interface chip in line so was a bit more expensive at £6 rgds VS ..Now I just gotta get some decent sized CFs ...the largest I have is 2gb and ran freenas quite happily ...but not big enough for windoze I think .. 8 > 64 gb would be a better bet .. If anyone has used ones lying around they dont use any longer ...I would be interested in taking them off your hands ..for suitable remuneration of couse.. rgds [/QUOTE]
