Default dedicated USB "Flash" Drive
Well atleast I think this is the right place to post it.....



I was at the fair about 2-3 weeks ago and received a wonderful 256MB flash drive from army recruiters. I know your thinking yuck 256mb, that's not even useful anymore. Then it hit me, I always have to format my 4gb USB when I want to flash my Graphics card or motherboard bios. 256mb is well enough room for nvflash and bios files for qflash.



I started off by soldiering wires to were the normal USB pin connector male head goes. I wanted to make it really ghetto and unique so I used the head of a floppy power connector

wire management is for sissies
