I was thinking about installing an entire OS onto the flash device, and
then
using that as the boot device.

Thanks for the info.

Hi,
You could also use a Compact Flash to IDE adaptor
This sits in an ide slot and acts just like a Hard drive.
I have just looked at these but i think it will be better when they produce
one to fit remotely in a 3.5" Bay, so you can swap the flash memory without
taking the PC case off.
Here`s the link...

Also PCW mag December edition has a hands on article about it.
