Re: Portable Hardware

[Jerome BENOIT <jgmbenoit@wanadoo.fr>]

Hello

To do similar thing I recently bought a mobile harddrive
(USB 2.0 or firewire) [at freecom  www.freecom.com  ]:
the capacity of such mobile hard drives can be quite large (20/40/60 GB)
the unity of storage is cheap,
the size is smaller than my former ZiP (100) drive.

My box is a Debian testing/unstable box with kernel 2.4.23

hth,
Jerome
