Yep, nice drives. They have ATA interface version with maximum sizes upto
around 1 GB. Not very fast though... And that 1 GB model is EXPENSIVE. But
those are good for embedded mobile use. I don't believe normal harddrive
would work very long when used in car in Finnish winter. :)
I had nice Nikon digi camera with 60 MB PCMCIA flash drive at work. It's
nice to get card out of camera and put it into laptop and just copy 60 MB of
pictures out of it.
Anyway, those are too slow and expensive for realtime audio applications
except MP3 player/recorders where datarates/amounts are low.
