So I finally got a DiskOnKey today off of Ebay (some guy is
selling the 8mb version for $30, which is $15-$20 cheaper than the
listed price). And lo and behold, it really does work in Linux. I had
been lead to believe that it would show up under /dev/sda1, but instead
it is under /dev/sdb1. Maybe that's because I've got a zip drive, which
is /dev/sda4.
Of course, now that I've got it, the creative juices are
running. I'm wondering if I can partition it (ext2/vfat). Or using it as
a bootdisk. Or better yet, a mini Linux distro. Does anyone know if
most modern BIOSs can boot from USB (since it is essentially a USB mass
storage device)? Of coure, my address book and bookmark file goes on
there.
Now soliciting for cool/neat/practical ideas of what I can do
with this thing!
