Good deal.  I have a couple of those but the largest is 256M.

They work great on Linux, or at least the 1G compactflash ones do.  I have yet 
to try a usb one but I assume they are fine.  Too much hangover DOS-think in MS 
drivers.  One of the major flash disk manufacturers already said years ago that 
they won't be supplying drivers for any version of Windows other then 95.  
Weird eh?

Life is good,
Maurice
