The company believes that one of the first uses of FLite(TM) will be the new, very small cartridges called Miniature Cards, a new Flash card being promoted by a consortium headed by Intel. This new Flash card offers the capability of low cost, portable, mass storage of images, sound and other digital data. This would enable digital cameras, for example, to eliminate the need for standard photographic film by replacing it with reusable digital data storage devices, such as Miniature Cards. The image could then be transferred, touched-up, inserted into a document and transmitted via Internet or other computer network. Such consumer products need to be compact, lightweight, and able to withstand rough handling - all of which needs can be met by Flash memory. FLite(TM) incorporates M-Systems patented FTL (Flash Translation Layer) See flash memory. TrueFFS(R) technology, and was developed and is owned entirely by M-Systems with the full co-operation of Intel, pursuant to the previously- announced co-operation agreement, signed between the two companies in October 1995.
