Alice Averlongš³ļøāā§ļøCopying a megabyte of files onto an eeprom takes a while. Maybe next time I should bring a USB flash drive that isn't a joke
But sometimes you grab a USB drive and it turns out to be your 3mb disk
it could be worse. this isn't my smallest USB drive. I've got one somewhere that's like 300kb

Fiona@foone Where do those even come from? The oldest USB drives I remember were like 8 or 16 MBā¦ ā

gaffyishere@foone what on earth is the use case for usb storage that small
i thought usb as a port format happened when handfuls of megabytes were moderately common

A cool crab wearing shadesprobably distributing software or documents at low cost, i don't remember seeing any that small at retail but I'm sure they could be had wholesale
Plaid@foone lol yeah Iāve got a T-Mobile branded one thatās 256k. Iām sure it had some marketing wank on it when I first got it. I still keep it around because I once ran into a Cisco router that couldnāt access a USB drive over some size and that size was unreasonably small.
Stewart Russell@foone smallest I had was the Verbatim FlashDisc, 16 MB of flash in a sort of disk/tape pack casing that blocked all your USB ports
smeg@foone I regularly use my first flash drive from 2002 or whenever. 256mb lexar jump drive
Screaming Turnip@foone I had a 512kb bravo
vxo@foone oh is that one of those bizarre trade show handouts where it basically just has enough storage for an autorun.inf (nooooo!) and a .url link file?
Chris Abbey@foone I may have a couple of that same unit. 320kb total. Iirc it had 5 64kb flash chips on it and pads for 8 total on the pcb. Super cheap branded trade show swag just big enough for a pdf brochure or a flash app. I was surprised they were actually writeable, rather than requiring off board prom flashers.
