This site has the teardown information. Now the question is, will the Carbon work with a smaller drive, possibly a 1gig flash based CF card?

Can anybody in the know care to comment on the 'elasticity' of the data partition size that the Carbon's firmware can access? -Zeke _________________________ WWFSMD?
