Right now I'm looking for a very portable BOOTABLE external storage
Things like the Iomega Mini or Seagate Pocket drive seem about the size I'm looking for.
It'll mostly be used for data storage but I need to be able to boot off them in a pinch. It'll mostly be used with USB 2.0 systems, but would like the ability to boot on USB 1.1 systems as well. (If that's even possible)
I'm thinking just a USB2/Firewire 400 enclosure for 2.5" Hard Drive's would be best.

thanks
