[PLUG] "Pen Drive" recommendations?


Eric,
I bought a Linksys (Model USBM64M) about 8 months ago
and it's been great.  The only minus is that it's a bit bigger
than the other models I've seen since.  As someone else
mentioned, USB1.1 is a bit slow, but considering the alternatives
I'm very happy.  Of course USB2.0 models are available now.
Tiger Direct (www.tigerdirect.com) seems to have a good
selection at low prices.
In Libranet, I just created a /mnt/usbkey and linked it
to the device (/dev/sda1, I guess).  The necessary modules
load automagically.  Also automatic with Windows 2000.
Win98SE requires that you install a driver, and they don't
work at all on Win98 or Win95.

Greg
