Tried this and it doesn't work. Can't recognize at all plus it's a little bit thicker than the original one.

Take a look here: http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?top ... icseen#new
Seems like DT were using "special" flash drive, so we cant use any other. Some guy on that forum can get You original flashes for some $$$

darkcirca, that sounds very reasonable but I was kind of hoping for something more like 4GB. Do you know if the following would work?

If not, what is the part number on your 1GB version that you know to work, perhaps we can see if there are larger versions out there for a reasonable price.

With these horizontal flash cards there is obviously two types 90 and 270 (rare) do we know which we need for the DT?

Thanks,

Dave.

Firstly,

I think it may make sense to make a Hardware Hacks section to the website, this discussion is not really windows or Linux related.

Now on to flash...

Thinking of this, CF is IDE, its just a matter of mapping the correct pins.

Thus to replace the internal flash with CF card it may be possible to use something like this.

Now, If there is room in the case, you could unsolder the existing connector and put on a low profile 44 pin female connector.

Again, this is probably a Hardware post.
