reads:
USB 1.1: ~ 0.6Mb/s, that's what I've measured
USB 2.0: ~ 10Mb/s
writes are a bit slower.
OK.
Well I am impressed.
Is it a good way of working?
Does it compare with say booting from a floppy
or is it more comfortable than that.
Like a hard disk?
slower?
The above figures seem faster than a Hard disk
as you would expect - that is right?
you'll need a quite stripped down knoppix, but it works.
Is there one available on the Net or did you create or your own?
> Do you also save files to the USB-stick?
yes.
For example I would like to run Xbasic
from such a system would this be workable?

maybe :-) some more information about that thing?
Arcos Multimedia jukebox
about $500 (but maybe less now)
it is really a hard disk in a secure
case with built in music and video decoding software.
Many companies are doing similar devices.
He is already running out of space and I have suggested
keeping 5 gig on a hard disk and uploading that.
