X/Profile format times?
patrick:
As shown below.
And where do you store your boot disks? 2nd picture.
BTW: how do I embed images in my text? There is an "img" - "/img" tag, but how do I refer to the attached files?

I've been holding it down with a pen cap, but obviously that's not a very practical or comfortable solution.

I've found that one of these miniature screwdriver bits is the perfect size to fit in the little slot and since the sides are all flat, it wedges in and stays in place very nicely.

The "help" example is this:
--- Code: ---[img width=30] https//wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/images/1/19/Button_media.png [/img]
--- End code ---
That seems to work for pics with a known url.
Test referring to post's attachment:
The "topic=" number is easy enough to discern from the URL when posting a reply, however the "attach=" number seems to be a counter and non-obvious, but can be discerned from the URL of the attachment after posting.
--- Code: ---[img width=316]/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=388.0;attach=540;image[/img]
--- End code ---
After posting and editing to update the URL of the image, I deleted the first attachment to see if it is persistent. -- update, no it does not remain available. So the inline image needs to remain as an attachment as well.
More codes here (Perhaps not all are applicable to the version currently running)

I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone here for the helpful answers and support.
First, I was able to use a folded piece of thicker paper to hold the switch open.
Second, I have another question. I don't want to connect an actual hard drive to my X-Profile, but it would be convenient if I could get a CF to IDE adapter and copy a STAR from one CF card to another. If I do that, can I just remove a CF card from an adapter (plugged into the primary port) and put it into the secondary CF slot, or are the CF cards formatted slightly differently when used with an IDE adapter? Even if I can't swap back and forth, I could still do two copies; from card A in the secondary to card B in the primary, and then a second copy back to card C in the secondary.
Has anyone tried anything like this? If so, is there a decent IDE adapter anyone here might reccomend for this purpose? I've tried a few IDE to CF adapters over the years in various macs and have had mixed luck - it really seems to be a crapshoot - so I'd prefer not to take any chances with some random part that could break and cause problems (I have had that happen before, unfortunately).

Yes, you can move X/ProFile media formatted while connected as primary or secondary to the other without problems; they aren't treated/formatted any differently.
A CF to IDE adapter is passive wiring (no electronics needed), so it "shouldn't" be difficult to make a good one, but there is a quality range for everything I suppose.
You can use a desktop computer to copy X/ProFile media as well; eg. if you have a Mac, here is an AppleScript to assist: XProFile CF Card Image Tool
on *nix (or OSX) you can use dd, on windows ... I don't recall names offhand but probably any utility that will block copy devices ignoring the formatting/partition scheme should work.
