	Data transfer rate:  Theoretically, the data transfer rate of IDE bus is 16.6 MB/SEC. However, the real data transfer rate is lower because of the limitation of flash memory card.
	Is the drive bootable?  Some computers (not all) can simply select "Boot from ZIP" option available from BIOS setup. The device support only one drive letter like Zip drive. You can't make the drive as C:. Manufacturer does not claim all computers can boot from this drive and they will not support this function!
	Does it run under plain DOS (not under DOS-box in Windows)?  No. The device is an ATAPI device and requires device driver to operate. There is no plan to develop DOS driver for it at this moment.
