For those of you who want to know, it is 100% compatible with Linux. It gets assigned to one of the SCSI hard-disk devices.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful little gadget!, October 25, 2002

By	Karen (San Francisco, Ca) - See all my reviews

Works great with Microsoft XP! As the other reviewer testified, there are no divers to install. I have a Compaq Presario laptop, and the Sony MicroVault is truly plug n' play on it. My computer recognizes it immediately as "Drive E".
I have so far used it to store pictures, word, excel & powerpoint documents, etc., and have transferred them to other laptops that have XP as their operating system, as well as my computer at work which runs on Windows NT. It's tiny, doesn't weigh a thing, and makes my zip drive near obsolete.

5.0 out of 5 stars Slick Design and Easy to Use, September 9, 2002

By	Robin Currier - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was very impressed with this little item. On Windows 2000 and XP, you don't need to install any software or drivers to use it, and using it is as simple as just inserting it into your USB port and, Voila!, you have a small, portable disk drive. Really invaluable for transporting files between work and home without the expense and mess of having zip drives on each system or carting around a bulky storage device. Even better for transporting files between Windows and Macintosh computers. No new software to learn as once inserted it just shows up on your system as another disk drive.

Finally, kudos to Sony for coming up with an attractive package. It's small enough to fit into my pocket and is darn cute! As another plus, the body is color coded to indicate what capacity the model has.
