IBM Microdrive

[James Vellenga <jvell cabletv on ca>]

Hi everyone,

I have an old laptop that uses a pcmcia harddrive.  The old drive died a
while back filled with back sectors, and I have been looking for a
replacement.  Linux does work on the system with the pcmcia hard drive,
but for replacement of it a person suggested using a Compact Flash card
with pcmcia adaptor.  As I have been shopping I have been considering
going with an IBM micro-drive with a pcmcia adaptor.  I was wondering
does anyone know if either of these options will work with linux?
