well...a dual boot could be interesting...I would rather just puppy or another linux that worked as well with pcmcia support for the burner...what about a usb burner...the single port is likely usb1..would a usb burner even work...has any one done that I wonder

yes apparently there is or was a parelell cable also for this device...I do not have it...the floppy allowed one to boot the live cd from the backpack where no cdrom was in the machine..I think...I also boot a thumb with the wakepup but it is unlikely to boot the device
