A possible (future) classic. - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

PCMCIA drives are 2"W x 3 1/4"L x 3/8"H.

Note that the SyQuest media size doesn't really count because the rest of
the drive was in the PCMCIA card (heads, motor, electronics).

I have a DTR-1 also, BTW...

 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.
