I have read in a couple of the threads about configuring a floppy adapter with a smart media card to boot and store the config files. Old machines can boot from floppy but most don't have USB booting facility, mine certainly doesn't anyway. Has anyone tried this and if so did it work? The hardware is available via mail order in the UK for about £20 so it keeps the low cost per GB storage theme going!! It would just free up my fourth ide channel, for another drive.
How far away is the PCI IDE adapter version I wonder because that would make my floppy adapter requirement obsolete, (plenty of IDE channels = plenty of storage)
Big thanks to Tony and his team for producing such a great application and to the forum community who keep pushing the ideas to fine tune it.
Any thoughts on the above appreciated.
