Thank you for the info - Yes I would be very interested in being part of this. I can easily sort the front plate out.
Please keep me in the loop.

You can think of it in the same way as a memory stick for computers. It has software partitions, so is bootable and very fast. The green LED is power, the red, "disk" access. Check the images I posted in the photos section. This is a prototype, I hope to have something more professional looking soon.
