I find this "disk" idea very appealing; to me, the only drawback is
that it DOES use SmartMedia; I would like to see something like it
which is compatable with CompactFlash, but it hasn't happened yet.

This offers LARGE disk, bootable, and compatable with the
ever-ubiquituous 3.5" disk drive.  It's also expandable: get a larger
disk if you want to.

I find the idea very exciting.  Who knows; maybe one day.........
