Would there be any advantage to  an MorphOs/Amiga  vitual memory that  used the USB connected flash drive sticks?
How about virtual memory  using a sollid state "hard drive" ;compact flash 4gb cards are on sale periodically for $25 US.


Wouldn't be much of a fun. usb is very out of question being usb1.1 only (I get 800 - 900 kb/s on average). The hd is also not the fastest one can think of. It would just be a brake. Better watch your setup and mem usage.
I am fine on my Efika with MorphOS 2.4  and OWB 1.6 with one to three tabs, Songplayer, SimpleMail, an editor and Wookiechat all simultaneously. If I need more free RAM I use Sputnik instead of OWB. Works quite reliable, uptimes of more than a day are normal(then i switch the device off usually).  After boot up I have about 80 MB available.
