Flight Bag Repair – Update/PicoPCMCIA

Here is an update on my repair of a Northstar CT-1000 Digital Flight Bag C (ca. 1999) computer.

It has hung at the bios screen because the original IBM 2GB travelstar drive it had was on the way out and I wanted to try and preserve the irreplaceable driver files on it. I changed it to a larger spinning rust drive but I think the BIOS does not deal with the larger file size very well or that it has the wrong format type. I am going to mess around with it later and if need be move it to an internal CF card.

Since it has a two card PCMCIA slot I think it will make an awesome tablet using the PicoPCMCIA project.

I will update my progress as soon as I find more time to work on it.

Please take care of each other.
