This isn't really an embedded linux question, but more
an embedded question.

It seems to me that M-Systems' Disk on a Chip is just
flash ram with a firmware layer that imposes a
hard-disk like interface on the flash ram.  If this is
so, then what is the lifetime of data integrity for
the flash ram tech(even with the wear leveling tech).

Does anyone remember the TCAP storage device?  It was
some unreal solid-state disk on a chip technology that
was proposed.  I'm not too sure on the validity of it,
but the promises it made were unbelievable and almost
seemed like a hoax.  Anyway, I found a link an old
link to it.  It seems to promise solid-state speeds
(Terrahertz?) with hard disk data storage properties.

Here's the link:  http://www.accpc.com/tcapstore.htm

Any opinions? Should I get my hopes up, or is this fluff?
