[Duo2400] Dynamic Memory App For OS 8

At 08:34 PM 4/19/2004, Antonio Malcolm, had this to say :

         Thanks for the URI! Maybe this will help out my Duos.

         If the CF I/O is faster than the internal HD bus, then this would 
be advantageous. Does anyone have any solid numbers on this?

         Not to mention the extra heat produced by faster spinning drives.

         I have tossed around (in my head) the idea of running Linux on my 
PB's but I don't think MKLinux will cut it for me. I plan on upgrading to a 
3400c and I might first start with a 2400c (given all the cool add-ons that 
can be found although rarely these days). Which ever it is, I plan on 
loading Linux for the speed and capabilities that will be at my finger tips.

         Sure, I can send you some oranges! ;)

         I think there is a ban on cross border fruit shipments via the 
mail though. :D
