Post by thread:Iomega Click! drive

The Iomega Inc. is planning to sell a very tiny 40MB hard disk with serial transfer, this could be a great device to increase the PIC data storage. What do you guys think about it?

Octavio, This is exactly what I needed for another project. Have you seen these available from any distributors yet? >The Iomega Inc. is planning to sell a very tiny 40MB hard disk with >serial transfer, this could be a great device to increase the PIC data >storage.

Sounds interesting... Some sort of operating system on there? I used the Commodore 1541 disk drive in a 6802 project because it had an operating system built in. I wonder how much this little drive costs. Seems that ANY drive will sell for $150 to $200. As the art progresses, the price doesn't go down, they just cram more bits in there.
