Does the Compaq IA-1 have an IDE header, a 40 pin, Laptop, are there pins on the header.

Thanks

From what I have seen, it does not have a 40-pin IDE header.

All you need is an IDE to compact flash adapter and then you could use the hard drive. But finding that is tough. And they aren't cheap either.

What about this? do you think we could use this to attach a harddrive?

Nice find, and I see it's a powered device as well.

Now all we'll need is a few cheap PCMCIA to IDE cards.

You can get portable external drives with PCMCIA connectors to use normally on a laptop. I think the Kanguru series has that capability.

I ripped my ia-1 apart tonight looking for a header.... found none.

Did notice:

1. the modem is snapped into a pci bus. contacts are microscopic.
2. there is an interesting 10-pin connector thats unused... serial?
3. to answer someones question about snapping in a rj-45 connector to use ethernet... no, there's about 5 chips missing... just blank spots..
4. snapping off the resistors to change fsb speed or multipliers has NO effect... must be hard-coded in the bios..

this system is the work of satan..
