Thanks for the URLs, at current prices I'll wait a while.
Still it is encouraging, I'd love to have a 4Gb solid state C: drive.
I wonder how large the full size PCMCIA cards got to?
There isn't the digicam market pushing supply but that might mean there
would be less demand.
I think the largest PCMCIA memory card I've ever seen is 440 Mb.
Has anyone seen larger cards?
