Ummm Follks??
Most recently made laptop/notebook computers support booting from the PCMCIA slot. One can get PCM adapters for just about any of the FLASH memories (e.g. SD). It shouldn't be difficult to load an OS onto a 1GB card and still have enough room to run the avionics app.
Take the disk out.

Yes I did try it again. This time it didn't even make it to
altitude. The first time was a more leisurely climb rate with 2 on board
(maybe ~1000'/min) and it crashed (blue screen) at 10'300. we descended to
below 10K and rebooted then slowly climbed again and at exactly 10,300' it
crashed again. Reboot and again at exactly 10,300', blue screen again, but
then it wouldn't reboot.
Thanks for the info. It sounds like this is a very real problem, and even
if you get a drive that seems to work, one good bit of turbulence will
likely knock it out. I'd hate to think my GPS was on the verge of failure
all the time, so I guess I'll forget any system that has a HD in it. Cheers,
Rusty (fortunately, memory is cheap)
