Ik las bij de Yahoo-group voor de RS7000 een bericht van iemand die een nieuwe, algemeen verkrijgbare, CompactFlash drive heeft ingebouwd in de rs7000 die gewoon werkt.......
Ik zou wel een linkje willen plaatsen maar het is zo'n yahoo-group waar je je eerst voor moet aanmelden, dus .....

Well I finally got around to working on my internal storage
project. Now I already have an External SCSI Hard Drive and an
External SCSI compact flash reader. But for portability I wanted to
try to integrate something into the RS. I also wanted to see what
could be done with brand new parts that can still be easily
purchased, and not discontinued or hard to find items.
I ended up using an IDE compact flash drive with an IDE-SCSI
adapter, and a 2GB flash card, basically giving me an internal 2GB
drive. Both parts are powered from the RS's internal power
supply. A SCSI ribbon cable comes out and connects to the RS's SCSI
port. I also added an additional external scsi port so that I can
still connect my external hard drive or USB-SCSI adapter to my PC.
The RS does seem to hang for about 10-15 seconds longer at
the 'Yamaha' screen when you first power on, but then it displays
the 'searching for autoload' message and loads normally after that.
The RS sees the flash drive right away. The problem of having to
power on the scsi drive before the RS does not seem to apply here.
Performance is similar to my external SCSI hard drive... a 55MB file
loads from the external hard disk in 156 seconds... and the same
file loads from the compact flash drive in 166 seconds... just
slightly slower. (If I remember correctly, the same file takes
about 10 minutes to load from the RS's SmartMedia card slot).
With my external SCSI hard drive connected to my added scsi port,
the RS is able to see and use both drives. (The Hard Drive still
needs to be powered on before the RS). My USB-SCSI adapter also
works with my laptop, allowing me to drag-and-drop files onto the
new compact flash drive right from my PC. However, there is still
the issue of the RS and laptop accessing the drive at the same
time. With enough time between disk operations, it appears to work
fine, but the RS did freeze on me once when messing around with
it... i think the PC was still accessing the flash drive when I
tried to load something on the RS.
