How much data can a writeable RFID store? I seriously doubt it is enough for a complete medical history (how much space does a single X-RAY take up?), and not likely enough for emergency information (type and location of prosthetcs/metal pins, allergies, current medication). It may be enough for allergies, and mega important medical information, given the right encoding. I could not find a reference for how much data an RFID can store. The only reference I could find was a single 128bit number. 16 bytes. Not enough for medical history. -john -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
