I see... I'll look out for one. Also been thinking that since there is a
hack for the N800 to enable USB host mode I could get a USB->CF adapter
and Microdrive, and build them into a tiny case with a rechargeable
battery. The N800 wouldn't supply USB power.

Just wish the
thing had a CF slot and thus could take a Microdrive, in
order that I wouldn't have to worry about frequent writes to flash storage.
Speaking of which does anyone know if VMS can live without page and swap
files? Somehow it doesn't seem likely... Trying to work out how I could
make it do as little writes as possible to the FS, e.g. by disabling opcom,
auditing and so on. And is there a 'noatime' mount option equivalent for
ODS?
Wasn't there someone making an outboard adapter for SD that holds a CF? I
have something similar that holds a CF and plugs into a SmartMedia slot.
