I was interested to read more background, but no URLs, so I found http://www.semihalf.com/ & re. NAND Flash File System found: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory#NAND_flash "Manufacturers try to maximize the amount of usable storage by shrinking the size of the transistor below the size where they can be made reliably, to the size where further reductions would increase the number of faults faster than it would increase the total storage available." - Really scarey if that is taken literaly, I jhs@ presume loose phraseology, hopefully someone who knows more will rephrase that :-). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAFFS http://www.yaffs.net/yaffs-nand-specific-flash-file-system-introductory-article GPL licence.
