You might find a name of Pretec also in archive. That company makes Flash
cards that work with OG 100 without any special drivers (unlike MagicRAM
Flash cards). Their prices also seemed better; but I am not sure.
There is one more company you might want to check out. SanDisk. Their Compact
-Flash series products are ATA compatible FlashDisks for laptops but I read it
here that someone has tested those cards for OG 100 also.
Hope this helps,
Merry Xmas to all :)
