I noticed an IBM USB device in Newsweek that allows PC users to copy 8MB on a very small pocketable device. I want one! (but not the PC part). I have a firewire LaCie for big jobs, but it's a bit bulky in the pocket. 8MB on a keychain would be perfect for smaller transfers. Any similar devices for Macs?

TIA,
Paul

Check out these sites: www.m-sys.com
More specifically-------> www.diskonkey.com
Comes in up to 32MB sizes and does not require any USB drivers. You can buy it at IBM or Dell websites, but Macworld for April 2001 says it is Mac compatible.

www.eiware.com
Comes in up to 64MB and uses a USB driver.

WIA.
