The Omnibook gets part way through loading MSDOS and then hangs so hard that I need to prod the hard reset nubbin on the side to get a hard reboot. I plug in the floppy drive and CDROM drive and boot up the machine.
All my Omnibooks run off CF cards, even the 300 now it has a BIOS 1.01 upgrade card. Even a relatively slow CF card is faster than the 2.5-inch hard drives of the time and considerably lower in power consumption. There are still a lot of OB fans out there so they all (two 800CT/133's and a 600C) found good homes.įor starters, I pop an 8GB Lexar Platinum CF card into a CF-to-PATA adapter to do duty as a hard drive. Having sold off some of my clutch of Omnibooks, I decided to rebuild the 800CT that remains as a Windows machine for running old software.
