Some IBM Microdisks work on a similar theme driver-wise, as there are both PCMCIA and memory card reader adapters for same. Essentially, SanDisk has what they call\classify as a virtual drive adapter, but it is mostly an IC memory module reader for one of their module lines. Large IC cards with 256 MB and up were made for high-density digital cameras, and it was convenient to have readers that handled them as HDs for older PCs that were USB capable but not USB 2.0 capable. In the US, about 5 variants of this theme exist (IC card as virtual HD, reversing the SWAP idea for portability of data convenience). Take a pocket sized reader, floppy or CD with drivers, and high capacity card to any USB capable box, install drivers, run and carry decent sized chunks of data in tiny package about size of a CD Business card to any box that will take the data and has USB capable O/S. Some of these run at USB 2.0 rates.
3) There is a kernel patch for the SanDisk USB disk caddies but thislook weird, i don't have such beast to test, but if you point me to it
does not appear to have been incorporated into the Mandrake kernel.
i will maybe integrated.
