man, I'm hooked on these things..I got 2 64mb's and am going to get a 256MB USB2.0 Pendrive for 60 bucks. Man, these finally gave me a reason for getting rid of my floppy, which I kept for the sole fact that I needed it to boot to dos..not any more...:p
HHmm i did post such thing in OS section but I ll ask again... what kind of program u use for the boot program?
I have a 98 boot disk copied on my pendrive...so if I need to flash my bios I connect my pendrive and my system boots up from it..very cool indeed
yeah... I love mine to death also! I've had it for about 9 months now... its a 128mb.. works like a charm! Too bad its only 1.1 though :(. I recently broke it though... and I setn it back for an RMA... It still hasnt came back :(. Hopefully they send me a 256mb 2.0 one! :D
I got a 256 Keychain coming in :)
I will let you know how it is then!

Some guy told me about a keychain pen drive Fry;s was carrying a few weeks back. Usb 2.0... 256mb.. for like 50 bucks or so. It like has a cool switchback feature.. sortof like a knife.. and its really small :). That's the kind I would like to get. And plug N play under winME and newer OS's.. like my old drive. who uses gaye 98 now a days anyways! :p
I got a 16MB one for $.01 on eBay :)
so you boot from USB memory drive ?
i presume, you copy over the contents of a bootdisk to the usb memdrive
and boot from that?
I got a couple sony 128MB memory sticks a SanDisk memory stick reader (usb2). It freaking owns, great addition to my digicam I got...
I need to get one of those. I bought my dad one for a present last year and I still don't even have one.:confused:
hold that for a second vert, I believe circuit city has a sale or rebate on 80GB usb2 drives from WD (ends up @ 100 bucks).... Unless you want it to be super compact, that is also a very nice alternative...
Already have a Maxtor 80Gb USB2 drive.:)Quote:

(well it's not MINE but it's mine to use and take home as long as I work at my current company):)
hehe good enough, yeah I want one, but I have too much storage to begin with, and I'll be living on campus, so I'll have access to my stuff anywhere I'll be for the next 9 torturous months anyways.Quote:

I just have like three 256MB Crucial CompactFlash cards for my digital camera and a USB flash card reader. It works good enough for what I do with it.
