    Cool!

    I found the old drive that worked with my Canon camera. It's a Hitachi 2GB Microdrive from 2003. It says CF+ Type-II. So larger, with a CompactFlash interface, boring in comparison.

    More history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microdrive

    I'm trying to remember the camera... Canon Powershot S1 IS maybe? It used a lot more battery running the microdrive.

    Is there a video somewhere of the one inch microdrive with acrylic display shown in the article?
