I have an MCSI flash disk (PromDISK, they call it) (http://www.mcsi1.com), and, while they are not cheap, they don't choke on dust in a commercial environment. They really don't cost a lot more as 32M than 4M, so size isn't the issue. They also configure themselves as a nice tidy C: drive in an ISA configuration, so it shouldn't be that difficult to use them. -- Donald Wilde "Linking Minds and Micros" ================= S i l v e r L y n x =================== 2218 Southern Blvd., Suite 12 v: 505-891-4175 f: 891-4185 Rio Rancho, New Mexico 87124 web: http://www.Silver-Lynx.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
