Granted that was copying large pictures. I'll | experiment with it (I have a 32 meg card to play with). If you imply access times on the camera, their interface is limited by the USB cable or the camera itself. Using PCMCIA interface removes this limit. The microdrives have 12ms seeks and do DMA mode 3. 13mb/sec thoroughput seems adequate for me. Here is the url. http://www.storage.ibm.com/hardsoft/diskdrdl/micro/datasheet.htm http://www.storage.ibm.com/hardsoft/diskdrdl/micro/ Searching www.outpost.com for "microdrive" produced quite a few results at reasonable prices. | I'd still be curious about the Clik! performance. -- Gave me the idea of a good place to keep PGP keys and SSH keys. -- +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | keichii@peorth.iteration.net | keichii@bsdconspiracy.net | | http://peorth.iteration.net/~keichii | Yes, BSD is a conspiracy. | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
