I've got an old laptop that won't recognize more than 8 meg of RAM. I've been thinking about ways to use it as, say, an Ogg Vorbis player. But even the gentle whirring of a hard drive is annoying. Luckily, there's a Compact Flash to SFF IDE adapter.

I also remember, maybe it was on /., that someone either hacked this or made a version that worked on the Apple II.
Ok, I searched google and the AppleII site is here http://dreher.net/CFforAppleII/

Some people just don't know when to throw away that old nasty hardware.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
