Hi

Did anyone tried to boot a PISMO with a CF Card with MacOS X?

If yes, how big is the CF Card? is it quicker as booting with the HD? any coments regarding swap space?

Regards

It seems like I tried booting from a microdrive on my Pismo a long time ago and it didn't work (might have been OS 9 though). I don't think it would be a very good idea for normal usage, even if it did though. Even a 1GB card would be pretty cramped for OS X and I imagine it would be pretty slow as well.
