FWIW, the WRAP has an onboard CF slot for storage - I have a 6GB microdrive
plugged into mine - and you can also add mass-storage via USB or a MiniPCI
IDE controller.

The WRAP is obsolete now, replaced by the ALIX which is a faster and more
capable version. Another useful possibility is one of those Viglen computers
which are also Geode-based.
