Guido,

        Toshiba made a 5GB micro drive on a PC card.  They're a bit hard
to find these days but I did manage to purchase one.  I think I found
mine at www.gooddealpc.com for about $150.  My understanding is that the
current PTR1 firmware (or rather my currently installed PTR1 firmware
wich is 1.12) can only access 2GB of this drive but that the upcoming
June release will fix this problem.

John

I know of no microdrive packaged in a PCMCIA card or a compact-flash
card 
larger than 4GB.  Toshiba has some 10 and 20GB 1.8 inch drives,  but
they 
are sold only as OEM products,  for imbedding into portable devices.
You 
can't purchase one and stick it into PTR1.

Do you have differing information about the subject?
