WACKY USB Drives-The Ultimate Customizable Platform!

From OS2eCS Organization

By Thomas Lee Mullins

The USB drive is poised to replace the now aging 'floppy' diskette. This does not mean that USB drives, like floppy drives have the same shape. No, in fact some are very whimsical or even considered 'wacky' (drives with very unusual shapes). Below are some "Wacky drives" that were found on the Internet.

Combined with eComstation, these devices will allow you to have a truely customized and unique personal computer. And have some fun! (smile) iDuck

The 'rubber ducky' of USB drives. It is the rubber ducky for computer users. When plugged in, the drive lights up. SushiDisk

For those who love sushi, there is the sushi (USB) disk. It comes in a variety of 'flavors'. IDiskDiamon While it is not exactly 'wacky', it is very very small. HelloKitty USB Key

The USB drive for Hello Kitty enthusiasts. USB Animal The USB drive for those who like stuffed animals and comptuers. There is a hippo, an alligator and a dog. Wooden Memory Sticks The USB drive for the nature loving computer user. ThumbThumbDrive The thumb drive that is shaped like a thumb. Tikki Drive

The Tikki USB drive is cool, but no longer made. Custom Shaped USB Drives While not exactly 'wacky', it has the potential to be. FlashBag Drive An USB drive that shows how much free space there by inflating or deflating its size. While not 'wacky', it is unusual in the way it shows how much free space there is. http://www.plusminus.ru/flashbag.html USB Pie Drive A USB drive for those who love pie with their computers. Ninja & MimoBot Drive A limited edition ninja shaped (plush on some) USB drive. Plush Gator Drive A plushy gate toy that is also a USB drive.

These are some of the more unusual USB drives (at least the ones that I could find oline). There could be many more. Fortunately eComStation has support for USB mass storage. These (and others) should (at least in theory) work with the latest USB drivers for OS/2 and eComStation.
