What Happened To The Small Form Terrabyte HDs? 4
Bahumat asks: "I remember hearing about a year back about credit-card size solid-state hard drives that were to revolutionize the storage industry, with the capacity for 2300 gigabytes stored, and the cost of manufacture to be less than $50. The old news release [ C : dated 8/99] is posted here. Does anybody know of any updates or press releases about this technology?"

Correct second patent (Score:1)
Given the first one is dated around the time of the inital annoucement and the second applied for 3/7/00, that would seem to be the one referred to in the update (and give it some dating).

Meager news & contact info. (Score:3)
No date by this blurb but the overall page was last updated 4/7/00, and the blurb above it references July 13... so probably posted sometime early this year.
IBM's patent database [ibm.com] shows they have filed for an obtained 2 [ibm.com] patents [ibm.com] in Great Britain but the only data online is they are both for "High Density Storage Systems" ($3 each for copies)
There's also contact info. [cmruk.com] so you could try to get some news straight from the source.
