Where to get SMALL solid state IDE disks

[BA]

Any ideas? I've found some 8mb ones for ~40, but that's way more space than I need. I'm looking for like 1 or 2mb for <$20. Does such a beast even exist?

There's that compactflash->IDE adapter for $20 @pcengines.com, can I get a ridiculously small CF card anywhere?

Can you provide a direct link? So it does read and writes?

PC Engines CompactFlash to IDE adapter

Just seems like kind of a waste for me to go and stick like a 4mb CF card in it.

I'm getting ideas here. You know a Linux kernel can fit on 4mb quite easily. can we say /boot/vmlinuz anyone? Oh yeah. You had a question. Sorry BA I know nothing to help you but thanks for the link to the cool gadget.

Yes, quite nifty. And if you can run a router off a floppy, what could you do with 4mb? I was gonna stick DOS and an MP3 player on it, read MP3's off of CD...

Doesn't IOMEGA make a 320mb PCMCIA hard drive now?

Nothing against all you guys, but does anyone have anything to suggest, not just saying how cool it is?

And Madrat, I don't really know, that's kinda at the opposite end of the spectrum of what I'm looking for.

What's really interesting is the Disk-on-Modules.

Plug straight into an IDE socket. Not real cost effective for me though.

Better price, 8mb for $39http://www.advantech.com/usstore/product.asp?pfid=398&amp;mscssid=QMYJUJLMPP6V8N7J5FH5GE2750OB2XDB
But still not very competitive with the IDE->CF adapter
