 CB>> Disk on chip, disk on module is pretty much the exact same thing
 MK> Not quite. One looks like a bug with roughly 16 legs (pins) which is the disk-on-chip made by m-systems whereas the
 MK> disk-on-module looks like a usb flash disk except isn't. Both are eol as far as I am aware.

what I meant was they are both pretty much the same thing in that they're solid state "flash drives". in fact the ones i have somewhere, 1 is a 24 pin DIP, the other is a "Cartridge" with a regular IDE connector. i've had "D.o.M"s which have been pretty much glue logic for a disk on chip lol.

 MK>>> 18680 bytes for a 64-bit version.
 CB>> Yea that's not too bad either
 MK> Yep and right up to date to. The reason it is so small as it isn't as feature full as the coreutils version.

as long as it reads right at block level who cares LOL
