I recently picked up a Toshiba Tecra (P2 266) 780dvd dirt cheap on ebags. It's got no floppy, no cd-rom, no hard drive and no caddy but has 2 pcmcia card slots and two usb ports and posts fine. Do I need to get the exact caddy and hard drive for my laptop to add a hard drive? The HDD that originally came with it said 5.1 or 8.1 gig and 17mm height. Does height matter? This caddy doesn't seen very available btw. Can I put in a PCMCIA firewire adapter card in the card slot and attach an external firewire drive to boot from? Can I hook a flash memory card up to the usb port with a card reader and boot from that? Any other ways to install a HDD? Would like it to be portable when I'm finished if possible. Thanks!
