>>As a thread FYI, 8 meg flash goes for 80 bucks right now. << Here is $34 for 8MB of Flash: rook.pricewatch.com@ctd+206+AND+@contents+8MB*&catd=206&cn=Camera+Memory&cr=Camera+Memory++8MB&n=30&CiCodePage=Windows-1252&a=0 And this IBM drive should be suspect, as should any mini-drive meant for portable devices. One can be suprised how much shock and vibration the average portable device goes through on a daily basis. FlashCards are industry rated in the 1000's of G's of tolerance. What worries me is the thought of a tiny read/write head array that is floating micrometers away from a rapidly spinning disc. One litle bump too hard while in use, and WHAMMO! IBM's new drive and Iomega's mini-drive both concern me in this regard.
