There is already a camera by Panasonic that incorporates a SuperDisk
(120mb) drive and a USB connection into one camera.  Connect it to a
USB-enabled Mac or PC and voila! instant SuperDisk drive.

Same thing could be done for Minidisc or (shudder) Zip.  With CF
capacity increasing, though, I think Zip and Superdisk (and maybe
minidisc) are irrelevant.

Has anyone actually used one of IBM's Microdrive thingies?  170/340mb
on a "disk" that fits inside a CF-sized container?
