In one of the pics it looks like a SD card sticking out the front and he mentions he is using a integrated 1541-III.

I sure regret my electronics/hardware/whatever skills are totally absent. The chance of me ever producing something remotely similar is zero... :-(

After seeing this I'm willing to bet he'd fit it inside a wrist-watch! :-D
