TI-H: Possable device for TI storage expansion




Ran across an interesting article about IBMs new Microdrive,
a miniture disk drive:

"The new drive uses a disk “platter,” or rotating memory
storage device, that is one inch across-compared with the
smallest IBM drive designed for use in laptop computers,
which is 2.5 inches in diameter, and the 1.8-inch diameter of
the smallest disk drive available today. The new drive also
uses less power than most others, allowing it to operate on
two AA batteries."

340Mb on that little thing, but the estimated cost is around
$1 a meg, a bit expensive for most of us.
