I was in Tokyo recently and saw a store selling the (Sony) cartridges
(about the size of a quarter) for about 1600 yen (around $14 at the
time.) I almost picked one up for the "cute" factor. They were also
selling "audio" player/recorders that used this cartridge - no Pereos
drives, though.
Alas, I don't remember the store, but it was one of the seven-floor
monsters in central Akihabara.

Last but not least, a Datasonix Pereos tape drive. It's a little unit not
much bigger than a microcassette that is supposed to be able to back up a
GB on a single cartridge. Unfortunately, I got no tapes with it, and the
only source I've found so far (www.datasonix.com) is pretty pricey
considering I don't know if it works. Anyone know of a cheaper source for
these tapes?
Thanks!
