I did not c anything about the RoBoard RB-100 being able to use a mini pci drive…Can the robot utilize such a drive?? If so can it be made bootable??
Also I did not see any category in the forum for the RoBoard RB-100
O.K. Thank you… It’s not a HDD it is a solid state drive … They are very inexpensive now…I did a google and found Mini PCI-e drive they are half mini PCI will this work?? I forgot to put the E…
Thanks I am glade I ask TO MANY ???'s…lol
I did think about a USB drive as I want to use XP over Linux… So I would need the extra capacity… 16 Gig is not enough…lol ( remember when 1 k w as allot of storage … Showing my age again…lol
OH P.S. I cant keep up with advancement it’s going to fast for my old brain…
Hi Bozooka,
The RoBoard RB-100 should be compatible with many off-the-shelp Mini-PCI components including storage devices. Now getting the RoBoard to boot off that device is experimental but should work in theory. Oddly enough, with a quick Google search I could not find Mini-PCI HDDs. Do you have an example?
We will evaluate the possibility of adding a dedicated RoBoard forum.
Mini PCI express and Mini PCI are different.
Take for example the Mini PCI video card we sell for RoBoard

Compare Mini-PCI to Mini PCI-E
RoBoard is not compatible with Mini PCI-E so you would need to try a Mini PCI (not express) storage device.
Other high capacity storage options for the RoBoard that come to mind:
-USB HDD
-Up to 16GB MicroSD
