There is now a wiki available to all who wish to change their lifedrive hard drive to a CF card.
Click on the title or click here .
Remember that your warranty will be void if you attempt to do this. I have not personally performed the change myself, but I am looking for either a used or cheap Lifedrive to do this.
The Wiki is excellent and it details which cards are able to be installed in the Lifedrive. It is a basic instruction set. However, I do wish someone would offer their services for this. That would be more interesting. As soon as someone does, I will post that information here.
There is a report in both Palm Infocenter (PIC) and Palmaddicts that Compusa is selling the Lifedrives that are still in inventory for $199.00. I cannot confirm this at the present time, but this would be a good deal if you sought to make the change.
However, I must say that I am awaiting the Hawkins' Project or a complete drop in the price of a Lifedrive before embarking upon the above. It is risky and you should make sure that you backup your Lifedrive before doing this. Additionally, it will not solve all of the problems of the dated operating system should you decide to embark upon this project.

MicroDrive Died Again
So, I've had my LD for just over a year and this past weekend the MicroDrive died for the 3rd time since I've owned it. I think I've nailed down the cause at this point. I think the LD is coming into contact with a magnetic field at work. Not good for drives. I am in need of the MicroDrive to be replaced by a CF card to help alleviate this problem. As far as I know, memory cards are far less apt to have issues with magnetic fields. I would do it myself, but the problem is that I don't have a drive to copy any more.
The big question...
Wondering if anyone is willing to create a 4GB CF with the latest Palm OS and standard LifeDrive apps. Willing to pay for both the CF and your time. Hoping to keep the cost around $100, though. Any takers? Contact me: lifedrive@webitpublishing.com
So sorry i missed your post so long ago. Hopefully someone answered you. You can find Lifedrives really cheap on ebay now so you could give it a go again.
