I have had a chance to fool around with flash drives on a relatively new IBM I. I had never seen them before.

Looking them up at IBM the chilling text reads "not a reliable backup media". Hmmmmm!

We tried copying a bunch of libraries onto one (RMS02) using SAVLIB and we did one too many.

Now the drive is inaccessible.

Anyone else use these things?
