I was gonna ask, but I found a photo that confirms... you stick the loop into the hole, not the buckle, haha. But the loop won't go in the hole. I'll use a paper clip or something to poke it through.

Anyway, was going to report, this thing is SMALL. It will stick out less than 1/4 inch!



Hmmm... why didn't that .jpg image show? Does this code not work?

(Except I used brackets instead of parentheses.)

Bill,

I bought two (gotta' have a spare) and they work great. Keep in mind, though, that because they are so tiny you may have to attach the lanyard that comes with the drive so you can remove it from the USB socket. My pudgy fingers had some difficulty grasping the device once it was inserted in the drive. There was no formatting involved--just plugged them in and they worked.

Gary, having them quite difficult to remove is a PLUS. If you can't do it, neither can some punk kid (in fact, he probably won't even notice there's one there)...

These things are sooooo small that you don't see them in the socket, which is a neat thing. The big advantage is that your USB drive is almost like having a built-in HD in the keyboard without the problems and expense of an HD. I purchased the 4-gig model, but you can go much larger without increasing in physical size. I have one for each keyboard and unless I need to add some style files or registrations, they'll never be removed.

Cheers,

Gary

I have a very small flash drive from A-Data that is apparently no longer being made, but they are making all kinds of compact designs.

Bill I purchased one for my S910. Works like a charm and no worries about someone bumping into the larger size. I'm very happy with it. As Gary said, "it's like have a 4 gig hard drive." Plug it in and forget about it.

Having identical keyboards in my office and in my car trunk, I'm constantly updating registrations and style files and making other tweaks.

I need a USB that can easily go in and out of my computer and keyboards and hook onto a keychain without getting lost.

But for those who want a HD instead of a portable device, this is perfect.

Where can I get one of these great little things - other than online?
