Thats a great idea if it does indeed work. I’m curious if salvador was able to get the CF reader to work. Thats a great idea if it does indeed work.

I would suggest you go out in a rented RV for a couple of months like I did, with my wife. I could probably swing it no problem, but the misses wasn't havin it. You'd also like to follow this guy,, he's even a photographer. http://www.whereisben.com. BTW, Mr. Hornbake, really enjoying the conversion bud. Keep it up. Hey Dustin,

I never would have thought that you could put a flash drive like that in an older sampler. Although I guess the S5000 isn't that old. That’s brilliant! nice work.

I can't remember how much it weighs, but I installed it by myself, and I don't remember struggling too much with it, so it must be under 100lbs. Compared to the weight of the van, that's not so much, especially when you consider the probably 250+ lbs of steel added for interior construction, 4 passengers, and 500+ lbs of gear that is usually in the back cargo area.

I had to fashion my own power connector, and I've yet to mount it into the floppy bay because my SCSI cable is too short, but it works nevertheless. Hot-swapping the CF cards seems to work too. I haven't tried it with two different cards yet though, just with one, and then doing the disk utils "UPDATE" function. Hornbrake guy -- thanks for your tutorial. I don't think I would have torn into mine without seeing your success. An update on my SCSI->IDE->CF conversion — it works with the parts I listed above.

Can I reuse the floppy's power connector? I've got plenty of ide cables, but I don't think I've got any SCSI cables lying around. Will I need to round one up? What about a SCSI terminator?
