I picked up a 64mb usb memory type device(not a disk, just memory). Just plug it in and no driver needed for WinXp-2000-Me. Only three small files for Win98. It is a great way to get files transferred in my shop. No more burning a cd for every file over 1.38mb limit of floppy disk. What a time saver! Also saves money on cd-r. Only cost 20.00 (u.s.) dollars. A must have for every shop.
Edit:
they are called usb pen drives on most web sites.
sounds like a good idea.. i have been trying to get them here at work.. evers since they were introduced to the market... but the cheap bastards here wont buy them.. i guess i am going to have to stress the idea more or just buy my own..
congrats :)
can you post a link to the one you bought for $20 i think we can get them to buy them here if we can get them that cheap!
Had mine since early December, love it. 256 meg from Costco online $89.00. Extremely usefull tool for work and for moving my wife's digital photos around. I also see that some of the newer mobo's are able to boot from pen drives.
Yes, an extremely handy thing to have.
I just rec'd my Lexar 128MB Jump Drive (Their name for USB storage device) from Dell for $49.06 minus $7.36 (15%) and with a $20 rebate. Also free shipping :), but I had to pay taxes :(.
I'm very pleased with the product and it's smaller than many similar devices.
The rebate is valid on purchases thru 4/30, so hurry!

here but they don't have it any more. At Newegg you can get a 64mb for 25.00 or a 128mb for 32.00.
I got a 64MB version when they were being given away free with a PC purchase from Dell. There's a utility you can use to make the memory key bootable:Quote:

Thanks for that bootable link. I didn't know that it could be done.
