Actually I also have a PNY Attache 256 Mb which works equally as well as 
the A-Data and a newish CompUSA 128 Mb model which also works great. The 
real problem is drive pricing, not system compatibility. Prices have 
dropped a lot, but are still insanely high. The cost per megabyte is 
really high at around USD 8.8 cents for the A-Data. I'd like to get a 20 
Gb flash drive for no more than USD $20.00 which works out to 
0.000976562 cents per megabyte. Now on 20 Gb, I can do some serious stuff.
