Yes, it was a requirement. Working with some limitations help to improve its own design.

Ooh, I like to look of this.

About exchange media, not late than yesterday I have copied 4GB data on a 8GB Microsoft USB pen.
Back at home, I put it on my computer and... I got a message like "Unformated disk. Do you want to initialize it?"...
Great!

Could this be used for X-MEM?

May be, may be not. I have not tested it. (look to use cheap MLC flash IC)

The X-MASS discution should continue here: X-MASS, a mass-storage expansion for all CPC.

SD-cards very rarely fail at hardware level I think. Whereas USB sticks - ugh, they get worse and worse with years. I still have 512MB no-name giveaways from ten years back working just fin, whereas I've had three branded one failing on me during the past few months (I use quite a few, mostly to get my mom her favourite TV shows : D). However, data on SD cards doesn't appear to be so safe and it working status is very sensitive according to the device they get used with...

(heh, as a matter of fact the only SD that has died on me completely was my expensive Eye-Fi one I use in my camera. Shit).

Should I lock the thread?

Maybe we can start a discussion here about the life time of mass storage types
Personally I never lost data on a CF card, SD card (doesn't matter if normal, mini or micro size), Memory Stick (Sony) or USB stick. The only data lost I ever had were 3,5" discs and DVD discs. Never had problems with any other storages and I used some quite hard...
