Talk:Supported Boot Devices

CF slot?

I've got a X21, and I would really like to be able to boot off the cf slot. Does anyone else have any information?

UltraBase/ThinkPad Dock?

The footnotes for the X series models regarding the UltraBase made me think that either the definition of Internal HD/FD/CD should be updated to include the UltraBase/ThinkPad Dock or that a few more columns should be added to the table for devices supported in UltraBase/ThinkPad Docks (such as SCSI devices). However, I do not have any experience with the UltraBase or Thinkpad Dock so I am really unsure to what extent they should be included or what boot performance is expected (if internal drives work, will dock devices work?). If you have an UltraBase/ThinkPad Dock and have some thoughts on this issue, please edit the table/definitions to an appropriate state or add a comment here stating what you think. --Kevinoid 14:03, 10 Oct 2005 (CEST)

Missing Hardware

You might want to add a "N/A" selection for machines that do not have appropriate hardware. The 600 series does not have Firewire, so saying "no" that it will not boot from it seems... odd. The 755 series does not have USB at all.

CardBus appeared (IIRC) on Pentium II models, so older machines have only PC Card slots, not CardBus. -- Whizkid 16:15, 10 Oct 2005 (CEST)
