    Mini PCI and RAM or harddisk
    « on: May 12, 2018, 02:28:51 PM »
    Hi!

    My notebook features one mini PCI slot and is empty.
    I want to ask if is possible to find any RAM board or connect external harddisk to that slot
    Notebook is Compaq Evo N1000v and has RAM limit 1GB (installed).
    Like other notebooks has only one harddisk port (this uses IDE 2,5").
    I want to find way to increase RAM size (no matter of speed) or else one harddisk (it can be also SD/microSD - to fit into case, so real HDD is not required).
    Is any of these two devices possible to find?
    I had there longer time wifi card, but I'm using it only at home and no moving, primarily using DOS and Windows + Commodore OS (Linux Mint based). So I removed wifi card away and will sell it.

    Else one Q: Notebook allows not booting from USB - is possible override it?

    Thank you for help.

    i'd check the manual...i didn't see 1 of those but i could be wrong...looks to me like a docking port.

      Or trying Mini-PCI CF or SD card adapter?
      I found lot of these adapters but for Mini PCIe...
      Exist any for Mini-PCI?

      You missed my whole point...you have to find out what port it is exactly before buyin stuff to try in it...

        Ok, but don't understand now.
        AFAIK it is Mini-PCI, there was plugged in wifi card before I removed it.
        Please explain it me to understand...
