Since the sandisks for IOpeners are embedded on the motherboard, it would
be difficult to hand one over.

I have, however, seen standalone disk-on-chip modules intended for use with
PC-104 platforms. These units seems to be about half the physical size of
a laptop IDE drive, though considerably smaller in capacity.

I Don't have a URL at present, but you should easily stumble across links
to manufacturers just by searching for links on PC-104 hardware as I did.

Give a man a fish and you have fed him for a day, but give him a case of
dynamite and soon the village will be showered with mud and seaweed and
unidentifiable chunks of fish.
