From the moment the Palm LifeDrive was introduced, people began to try to replace its harddisk with a compact flash card. USers on the german forum Nexave tried and failed soon after release…but now, it seems to be possible.

According to WikiHowto, it is possible to replace the LifeDrive’s hard disk with a 4GB compact flash card – other card sizes, will, however, not work(the LifeDrive always assumes a 4gb card):

The site lists compatible card types(not all CF cards work for this hack) and also gives detailled instructions about the process!

BTW, I dont have a LifeDrive and thus cant confirm anything. Users reported success on various boards…but as said, no warranty!
