Yes, it's a shameless plug, but no it's not for my hardware. An individual by the name of Ken Pettit has designed a new piece of computer hardware called NADSBox - it's centered around simple portable file storage for the Tandy Model 100/102/200/NEC 820x (Kyocera-OEMmed) laptops that allows you to use an SD card to be used as a (dang big) floppy drive - and preserves the DOS file structure so you can easily transfer files from the SD card to your Winders/Mac (and I'll assume Linux, but it's not specifically mentioned) machine. Here's a press release on the unit: http://www.club100.org/nadsboxoverview.html And the user manual: http://www.club100.org/nadsboxusersguide_v10.pdf More info at: http://www.club100.org/ The inventor has several built and are slated for a 1 November 08 ship date, and if you [pre]order before 1 Jan 09, you'll get it for a cheaper price. Now... they're not cheap, at the preorder price of $150 & $10 worldwide shipping, but these things really are designed for the customer - they come with a 512Meg SD card with a built-in USB port so if you don't have a media reader, you won't have to buy one! Lo & Behold, tho - if that's not big enough, the NADSBox will support 16G SD cards! See the webpage mentioned above for more information on this *very* interesting piece of hardware for the Model 'T' laptops! Oh, and no, I'm not dead... yet anyway. My current employment situation is working on changing that in short order... but at least I'm employed. Laterz!
