Cricket drive - every PC collection should have one.
Maybe Click? :o) That was nice, a drive inside a pcmcia card :oD

You're right. My bad. Too much crosstalk between my synapses. The IOmega
drive was the Click.
The Cricket was the first 1.6 inch hard drive. Never made it to market
though a few samples exist. It was 20 years before the 1.8 inch which did
get to market.

Didn't HP roll out a very small hard drive before that? I seem to
recall that there was something about the head suspension that would
enable it to withstand very high G-forces.

Billy, wasn't that drive that fitted a Polaroid PDC-2000 camera?
I had one of these with a VERY SMALL hard drive inside!
