the Dauphin DTR-1 what used it. I don't think it's the smallest though.
Does anybody remember the Syquest SQ1100? Removable hard disks about the
size of a box of matches. They produced them for OEM eval, but I don't
think they ever made it to the retail channel. I have about 100 of them.
I just got off my lazy butt and actually compared the two drives side by
side. They are both the same width, but the kittyhawk is considerable
shorter in length and taller.
SQ1100 media: 1.8" x 2.0" x 3/16"
Kittyhawk: 1.8" x 1 5/8" x 3/8"
PCMCIA-II drives would need to be 3/16" tall or under, I'd guess.
