Has anyone actually booted a ThinkPad 600X (or anything else) from a
PCMCIA card hard disk?
I bought an "IBM 105MB PCMCIA Hard Disk," model 8105PA, vintage 1994,
apparently (and very cheap), full-formatted it from DOS with the /S
option, confirmed that the system files and command.com were present,
and tried to boot from it, after specifying in Easy-Setup that the only
device to boot from was the PC Card. It didn't work.
Has anyone actually booted up from a PC Card disk this way? I'm not
asking if it *should* be possible (obviously IBM seems to imply it
should be possible by putting the option in Easy Setup) - only whether
anyone has actually done it, and if so, what disk did you use, and what
special trick, if any, don't I know about.
Many thanks,
Edward Mendelson
