Common sizes are 64MB and 128MB, ~$50 or $100 respectively. Work in anything that understands the USB mass storage spec - MacOS, Windows 98SE and above, BSD, Linux, Solaris. No driver installation needed as for zip drives. Transfer rate ~1MB/sec. KeS -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
