Dave, I added a note to the ticket.
Thinkpad forum recommends that to speed up operation, you boot from the internal HD and put data on a PC Card with a compact flash adapter, like:
Compact Flash to PCMCIA Ata Adapter CF to PC Card Adapter PCMCIA Ata Adapter for Cf 2 Card (Come with 512MB CF Memory Card)
Can someone point me to some docs on how to get this up and seen under ArcaOS 5.1.1?
With OS/2 I would stay away from that as far as I could. The cards I not easy to setup and they are slower then USB I think.
Thinking about this you would need to play around with the PCMCIA drivers and possibly some drivers from Veit Kannegesier.
Or maybe the Danis506.add has some support for it . I think its 15 years ago I last worked with PCMCIA on OS/2.
Thoughts from other people ? My personal opinion its not worth the headache.
BTW do you have an SSD in the T43 ? Or a disc with revolving platters ? You can install an SSD I think in T43 if you have not done so.
That will make that old machine fly if it does not have an SSD in it yet.
