You are probably speaking of the Iomega Clik! Drive. I have one in my laptop. Iomega has recently given this storage device a new name. I forgot what it is currently called. Some users have invented a couple of cool names for it. The storage device itself is about the diameter of the old type silver dollar, but it is very thin. It slides into a PCMCIA card. Holds 40 MB of data. It works very well. The problem with it is that I have been unable to access it directly from native DOS, but it works fine in a "DOS-box" under Windows. This is a very nice storage device. I don't know why it isn't very popular. I have heard that there are a few types of digital cameras and MP3 players that use this kind of device instead of memory sticks and SmartMedia and Compact Flash cards. If anyone knows about a digital camera using this device, please post info.
