1GB USB Drive on a Keychain

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the portable-pr0n dept.

sparcv9 writes "JMTek looks to be about ready to release a line of keychain-sized USB drives, ranging in capacity from 16MB to 1GB. The 1GB models are a bit pricey at almost $900US, but the 16, 32 and 64MB models are all under $100. These devices require no external power supply, claim a data retention of 10 years, and are 'driverless' -- which means that the drives will work under Linux, according to JMTek (see the 'Operating Systems' row in the specs table.)"

    That's because Win98 doesn't support the USB mass-storage standard. Win2K, XP, and most BSD's do... Microsoft laggin behind... who'd a thunk it?
