Something like an OmniBook 300, but smaller?

I had a Libretto 110CT that I put a CF card adapter into and ran a 4gb CF card as a hard drive. It would boot and run a lot faster than with the old hard drives. Plus it got better battery life. But I think the battery killer is more the display than the hard drive. If you want to give a CF card a try in your 50CT, I have a hard drive to cf adapter that will fit in place of the hard drive. Let me know if you want it.

That's pretty much the same setup I'm using, actually! The trick is to make sure you format the card while it's installed internally. The Libretto BIOS "hides" the last 32 MB from the OS to reserve space for suspend and resume. If you stick in a preformatted card, you risk blowing away whatever is in that space when you suspend.

Definitely runs much quieter, faster, and longer.
