Re: USB flash drive for clamshell iBook?

[Shawn Harley]

Andrew,
Any flash drive should work and fit your clamshell iBook. Most, if not 
all, come with an extender cable. I have 2 - 128MB flash drives from 
Tamarack (Pen Drives) and I have to use the cable.

a razor blade to shave off the corners of the T3Hub's casing so it 
could be inserted in the iBook, an ugly if finally effective solution.

Now I want to get a USB flash drive to use with, among others, 
clamshell iBooks, but am concerned that I might encounter the same 
problem. Has anyone used a USB flash drive with a clamshell iBook, and 
run into this difficulty -- or not? What brand works, or doesn't?
