Would it be possible, for example, to create a CF module that housed the OS and could be upgraded at the users discretion with subsequent versions? Yes, this is exactly the principle that the obsolete OB300 in my previous post does except that it used a type II ROM card but there was nothing to stop the user from replacing the card with another that had a different OS on it provided they could located suitable drivers for all of the laptops hardware. Todays problem is that it would be hard to fit a MS OS on the typical 40/48MB card. I don't think you would want to partition a CF device for RAM or cache - it is much slower to read/write to than conventional RAM/cache. GaryS
