- Yes, I need to *find* this company because I found all other companies.
- For your information, here is the list of PCMCIA HD manufacturers.
-
- Conner
- Kalok
- Aura
- Ministor Peripherals
- NEC
- Seagate
- Integral Systems

- Most of them do not have the sample at the moment. Interestingly,
- they all say the sample is going to be available at the end of Feb.
- 1993. In the Las Vegas COMDEX, I saw a couple of companies
- (including AT&T with its new chipset) displaying HD from Integral
- Systems. So, I assumed Integral Systems must have their sample units.
- Since then, I have tried to find this company to buy a sample.

- I know HP has kittyhawk but I know they would have a contract
- against my need.

-
- Right. I'm eager to see this flash memory affordable for average users.
