  • Microdrive with Transparent Cover. Usb Memory Stick
    MICRODRIVE WITH TRANSPARENT COVER. USB MEMORY STICK. Dear Customer: Thanks a lot for buying this product. Your Transparent Microdrive is the consequence of many months of research. The result is a fully working and functional Microdrive where it is possible to see how the very small hard disk works. You can use your own Microdrive as a flash USB disk with the supplied USB reader. In addition, your transparent Microdrive could work in a PDA, cameras, camcorders, … as a normal Microdrive, but this is not guaranteed, due to the well know incompatibility problems. If you are reading this document, and you have not bought a Microdrive with transparent cover in Ebay (my Ebay username is faparisi), you can visit the following Web page in order to see pictures and videos of how it works: http://personales.upv.es/~faparisi/microdrive.htm HANDLING THE MICRODRIVE. You have to treat your transparent Microdrive as a regular one. As a normal Microdrive, it is highly recommend handling the unit as the following pictures show: Please, follow the same recommendation about handling when the Microdrive is removed or inserted in a CF slot. Page 1 of 5 It is not recommend touching the plastic cover, especially in the place where the reading head is located. Never touch the cover when the Microdrive is running. The following pictures show how to insert the Microdrive in the USB reader. Please, take into account that only the correct orientation shown in the pictures is possible. 340 MB and 1GB Models. 2 GB and 4 GB Models. Page 2 of 5 Always keep the Microdrive in the supplied plastic case when it is not used.
