don't know how much or by whom.

I'm using a Toshiba 5Gb PCMCIA HDD (<$400) which works fine but is
dreadfully slow on USB 1.0.  Since is has little platters and moving

parts,

you need to run it from supplemental power all the time.

The only rub with running multiple peripherals (extra memory and GPS) is

the

necessity of using a dual PC card sleeve ($200).  You can still use a CF

GPS

with a $10 PC to CF adapter.

That's why I brought up the internal upgrade. Power draw is no different.
And while its open, might as well upgrade the battery also. And you can now
use a one purpose sleeve since your not tying up the sleeve with a CF or
something similar.

Newegg has up to 512Mb CF's...I use a 128Mb Mr Flash from them. Been very
happy with it.

Chrissi...I almost brought up the Flashlight option. Works great! For
aircraft use maybe an option to turn it red would be nice!

Something different...Paul, you see the ATP at SunNFun? Lot of people
looking at it. What most don't yet realize is the high fuel consumption down
low, and most efficient use is 18K+'......if only more knew of The Rotary
"Turbine".....much better for most needs. Keep plugging....I am seeing more
mention on other newsletters and sites about the Rotary resurgence lately.

Cheers!

My free time at Sun & Fun was limited as I was baby sitting the DG1.
