An idea might be to use one of the new IBM Microdrive discs - they fit in a
CompactFlash slot and offer (at the moment) up to 340mb, at reasonable
prices (under 1UKP per Mb). They're planning to get up to several gigabytes
next year.
Might be a technology to keep an eye on - one of the proposed uses is for
keeping large databases on hand for sales people, field engineers, etc.
