Va negvpyr ywlee@cs.uiuc.edu (Youngwhan Lee) jevgrf: } I need to find this company. (Boy, I have tried this for a couple } of months now. I have looked various places including posting } it to comp.palmtop and comp.pen-based. This newsgroup is my last } hope.) do you need to find *this* company, or *a* company that sells PCMCIA hard disk drives? i've never heard of them, and don't see them advertising in any of the trade rags... there is assorted pcmcia information, including a list of vendors, which can be gotten via anonymous ftp from csd4.csd.uwm.edu:/pub/Palmtop/. as a last ditch effort, you could contact the PCMCIA itself [1030 E. Duane Ave., Ste. G, Sunnyvale, CA 94086, (408) 720-0107] and ask them for a list of all the appropriate vendors they know about. } If you know anything about the company please let me know. } I understand the company is making 1.8 inch hard disk drives. } I'm interested in getting PCMCIA compatible 1.8 inch drives. last month a poster who'd attended the laptop computer show at the Santa Clara convention center mentioned that one vendor (don't know who) was showing an 85 MB PCMCIA hard disk. i don't know what the form factor of the drive was, but i imagine it must be a type III card (10mm thick and requiring a double-height slot) to accomodate it. HP's now shipping a 20MB *1.3-inch* hard disk drive, called the Kittyhawk. i don't know if anybody's announced a PCMCIA card based on it, but you can contact HP's Direct Marketing Organization at, P.O. Box 58059, MS511L-SJ, Santa Clara, CA 95051, 800-637-7740. that being said, you might also consider looking at solid-state drives as well. they're bound to be more expensive per megabyte for the time being, but i'll bet the premium is not nearly so high when you're talking about PCMCIA-capable mechanical drives... -timr -- Only the lads of the cursed race, Only the knights of the desolate spell, May point me the lines the blood-drops trace-- Poets alone should kiss and tell. --Dorothy Parker
