Toffee and taffy are totally different things. Toffee usually has a butterscocth mocca taste and taffy is is a gummy chewy sugar confection. Ok that said,the pcmcia to cf adapter and small laptop hd is your best shot.

You were the one that suggested toffee, when I said I didn\'t know what taffy was!
BTW, WTF is taffy?

look, are you ignorant or just stupid?

oh, wait... wrong thread.

Um, ya... I was making a play on words.

I personally love skor and tolberone ... and there are a few salt water taffy flavors that I like
(I grew up on the east coast of the US... etc).

A mixture of the two.
Insulted and abused, but still none the wiser.

I\'ve looked at the recipe, we don\'t seem to have anything like it in Dear Old Blighty.
At least I know what a scone is.

Man, all you ZUGites have an amazing knack at keeping posts incredibly off-topic.

It adds to the enjoyment.

Is the power draw on a 2.5\" laptop hard drive lower than the larger drives? Maybe one of those would be easier to get working.

Um, back on topic...

I tested using 2.5\" drives. Both are specified for 5v+-5% operation, but the Toshiba seems to run fine on 3.3v, although that is so on the edge that it usually only spins up when the Z is connected to an external battery pack (maybe current is the main problem here).

Doubt very much that any 3.5\" drive will work.

Another alternative is to get one of those yummy Toshiba PCMCIA drives, but they are small capacity compared to e.g an iPod and quite expensive.

That\'s still off topic!
Are there any self powered USB hard drives?
Just thinking of the people with SL-6000\'s.
