well...it's a solution. It's been done for the Commie
64 amongst other things. I have to believe one would
have a longevity at least that of an IDE hard drive
(in particular a drive that's already years old!). If
they fall off the market entirely in fire years,
that's five years you have to scarf up all the deals
you can find. I already see the smaller ones going for
a tenner.
Nuts and Volts magazine had an article within the
last 6 months I believe wherein the construction of an
mpeg player was detailed, which used flash storage.
Didn't buy it, but afterwards thought it might prove a
useful read if I ever wanted to design a reader of my
own. I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but
there didn't seem to be anything terribly complex
about it. Can't even remember what the circuit used
for brain power, but it must have been something
common and well documented.

That's a good enough reason for me _not_ to design
anything using them.
Flash memoery has a limited (albeit large) number of
write cycles, and I
am not going to design something round a product
that is (a) going to be
hard to find and (b) haev a limited working life
anyway.
