	As long as the image in your bootflash: supports the
ATA filesystem, you can use a CF <-> PCMCIA adapter and stick a 128m
CF card in your slot0/slot1 (they become renamed disk0/disk1)

	You will want to reformat it with IOS so you get the right
boot loader in there, but that should solve your situation for now.

	Cisco does not recommend this configuration, but it will work,
and they will continue to support you, with the exception of flash failure :)
