Hi there,
I what is a very unusual event I just spotted a ad for an HP T5565 Thin Client at a reasonable price (for these latitudes).
I don' t even know if I will be able to make any use of it (too bad it doesn't have PCI nor DOS SB support 🙁 ) but I might still get it....
Does anyone know If I could use a regular 128 GB SSD in the SATA port it has? For what I see that would be cheaper than an IDE-CF adaptor + cable (*) + CF card.
I'm looking at U$30 for an 8GB CF card alone and that is not far from a cheap 120GB SSD! Geez....!
Unless there is some compatibility issue an SSD seems like a better deal to me?
Maybe a SATA drive (either by protocols or partition sizes) could be a no go, but I don' t think this TC is win9x friendly and I don't *intend* to go that route

Thanks in advance.
