Small and smaller
My excellent digital camera uses a 4 M byte flash (for stills, the video is on 8mm tape!).
I have some 32 M Byte SD cards
I have a few 4G SD cards and CF cards.
I put an adaptor in the EE PC to replace its 4G Flash PCB with a CF socket. It has a 32G card in it, allowing in place updates to the Linux Mint + Mate desktop on it.
No mistype on the Ms above.
I remember PDAs with 64K static RAM based CF cards using coin cell for backup before Flash was available. Mid 1980s.
Is the smallest the IBM PC type Clock/RAM chip on some portable gadgets in late 1980s with 64 bytes RAM kept alive by a coin cell (5 years)? I recovered some of those on old 486 & Pentium I wanted to keep that had the battery epoxied in. Easy with a Dremel type cutter and possible with knife to cut case and solder a CR2032 holder instead of the now flat battery. Some old PCs will not do ANYTHING at power on if the battery is dead and/or CMOS corrupt. There ARE things that need an old PC.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
