Copying 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

@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

I recently decided I had to replace my tiny old 2GB keychain thumb drive. I bow to you and your minuscule drives.

I have a couple of 256MB USBs. Those are the smallest I have.

@foone lol yeah I’ve got. T-Mobile branded one that’s 256k. I’m 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 couldn’t access a USB drive over some size and that size was unreasonably small.

@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

@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?

@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.

@foone I saw a thing at VCF today that should do the trick 😆

@foone 🚬 Oh no, now I can't unsee that and I have to encounter this same computer again tomorrow.
