I forget if this came up the first time around for the discussion, but, FYI:
Toshiba's got a .85-inch drive (even smaller than the 1-inch microdrive from
Hitachi/IBM) -- http://boingboing.net/2004/03/17/worlds_smallest_hard.html

Coincidentally, today I stumbled on a reference in an email I sent to
friends in March 1998:
"Check out the (perhaps) world's smallest mechanical hard drive,
soon to be a classic, about the size of the smallest Post-Its,
just $7.95 and 20 megs, at <http://www.allelec.com/#kittyhawk> ."
It must've been mentioned on Slashdot.
I don't remember where I heard about it, but I _did_ buy a couple for
$7.95, and I have bought several things over the years from All Elec.
