The Iomega microdrive is really an IBM rebadged. IBM makes 512MB and 1GB
capacities now as well. If you buy the right bundle, the microdrive comes
with a PCMCIA->CF adapter so that it works in your Libretto.
I have taken my 512MB microdrive out of my camera and put it in my Libretto
and it works just fine.
Beware, though, that not all CF-equipped cameras can use the Microdrive.
First, the microdrive is CF+ Type II (whatever that means) and can't
physically fit in CF type I slots.
Secondly, even some cameras that have Type II slots don't work with the
Microdrive. Check with your manufacturer before buying, or read a review
on good digital camera web site like http://www.dpreview.com or
http://www.dcresource.com.
