IsoStick.
http://blog.elegantinvention.com/Here is the site of the IsoStick.
"There has been a lot of misconception about the functionality of isostick. All the optical disk magic takes place in the isostick itself, it doesn't matter if you're in the computer's BIOS, an OS, anything -- whatever you plug it into will see both an optical drive and a flash drive. Absolutely no software is required for this. The software mentioned is a convenience for configuring it, but all settings are ultimately stored in config files on the flash portion, which you can edit however you please. I hope this clears up some confusion about the isostick, and I hope you like it!"
It would be neat to see if it would make installing eCS onto an netbook easier.

Once it is made and if they have a lower priced version, it would be neat to try eCS onto at least one of my netbooks.

Kickstarter. The article indicates they have achieved the funding they wanted. At $225 each (per another site), the price - IMO - seems high but I am hoping they will have a lower priced version.
