[P1] Solid state boot disk

[Paul Kurtz]

I think it is possible, maybe even easy with a laptop with a PCMCIA slot.
You can use an adapter for a compact flash card, or similar and it will show
up as a drive.  However, without some sort of slot, the only option might be
a USB card reader used to do the same...?

Sound interesting, but I dunno.
