$99.00 US for an 8 MB stick ouch.
an alternative may be getting a 64 MB smart media (AU$105.00) and a miniture usb smart
media reader (AU$80.00). Only marginally bigger than the usb key but much more useful.
Only question is if the usb reader is supported un linux, back to square one.
Have a look at www.flashmemory.com.au

Subject: RE: [SLUG] USB Memory keys
I have one of the IBM USB keys, and (from what I have found by trying to
getting mine to work, and from others on the web) they won't work under
Linux. But IBM will be releasing version 2 of this key (date unknown),
which will work under Linux.
Heres the link:

Don't know about the others on the market.

Is anyone using one of these aforementioned beasties?
I know IBM make one which is apparently platform agnostic, but do
you think I could find it on ibm.com.au, no.
So, anyone who is using one, and not necessarily the IBM one, could you
let us know of any good/bad stories, prices, and where you got it
from even! Obviously I'm looking for ones which are reliable under
Linux and kernel 2.4.x
Kernel config tips and any related URL's gratefully accepted....
Thanks
Steve
