I think Creative had one?

I found it! sort of. This is almost exactly it but I remember it looking a little different. But I definitely remember the giant rubber corners.

Archos Jukebox.

Interesting, I wasn't around for the MP3 player revolution for the most part.

 

[DougM]

Although it looks like it's got a 2.5" drive, not a 1". Damn, now I have to try to remember which of the many MP3 players I had that had the 1" drive.

Here's a coverless Kittyhawk I've got sitting on the shelf (It was dead before I opened it):

With that 2.5" spinning rust in a handheld device, I have to wonder about battery life...

 

[famicomaster2]

Apple's iPod Mini had a 1" Hitachi microdrive inside. Maybe that's what youre thinking of?

And nice! I actually know a gentleman who has a working Kittyhawk but just as I would be, he's unwilling to sell it. I'll find one on ebay someday.

Supposedly, about 8 hours playing music. Recharging must have taken a long time with 4 AA rechargeable batteries inside.

That link may not work - it is facebook marketplace item # 384100950992765

I went back and took a screenshot as the listing seems difficult to pull up.

I have one of these if it is of any interest.

I've got one of those micro HDs that's supposed to take the place of a USB pen drive. Not a sterling performer, but just plain odd.

 

[famicomaster2]

Yes, that link does look like what Im looking for! Thanks much!

I have microdrive in Nokia N91 but I'm not sure if it works.

 

[Chuck(G)]

I've still got one of these rattling around in my hellbox:

A ridiculous, cumbersome thing. 4GB Microdrive (haven't had it apart) with a built-in IDE-to-USB interface. The actual drive inside is a GS Magicstor model. Transfer rate over USB 2. appears to be 6MB/sec.

That would be the MK4001MTD or MK8003MTD.
