I am looking for a cheap data storage solution for many people. The requirements are as follows:
* CHEAP (very important) * storage space isn't important - maybe a couple of hundred kilobytes max. * media can be lost and replaced without much trouble/cost * media can be easily read/written by an ordinary Linux computer * media and media reader must be reasonably durable * scalable: the media should be distributable to millions of people Flash memory is too expensive - I'm looking for cards that cost <$1 each. I was thinking that SIM cards (like what you get in your phone) would fit the bill. Is it possible to use these as a generic storage medium? All the information I could find on USB SIM card readers mention that the SIM is accessed as a serial rather than a storage device. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
