dunno mate, plug and play with 2000, and XP and Me, not sure about NT4, you may have to start the P&P driver in devices/services first.

D'oh.
no USB in NT4 so forget it, or upgrade!

I looked at it, IMHO the only one worth getting is the 128mb one, then I could use the T1 pipe at work to do all my downloads (service packs CS patches e.t.c), then take em home to my PC without going on line at home, only problem being it doesn't work on NT4....

NT4 doesn't support USB - so I won't bother in the short term unless I set up a dual boot just for the internet....

But it looks great, £149 for the 128mb one......

Hi.

I have a PENDRIVE, which i got from www.scan.co.uk, it's basically the same as this diskonkey thing, mines a 32Mb one, which is fine for my needs, although they also go up to 128Mb, but again it's pricey for that size.

I find it very useful. Small and fits into yer pocket and holds way more than a floppy, Plug and Plays fine a well.

I would recommend one of these to anyone
