Actually Kingston now has a 2G type II pcmcia HD. It caught me totally by suprise as I
had not heard anything about it until
I read a review of it. Before that the largest "real" type II HD was 260M and it has
only been around for a year or so. Of
course by real I mean no a CF card in a type II adaptor, they come in 170, 340, 512
and 1g models now, if I remember
correctly.
