The Hitatchi 4 Gb microdrive should do...
Dunno how reliable those thigs are, but it's said that they'll survive if dropped on the floor.

As long as the card is smaller than 4 megs, there should be no problem using it as a bootable drive on an A1200. It is possible to use cards larger than 4 megs in the PCMCIA-port, but it will need special SW to detect it AFAIK.
If a non-hotplug capable IDE-adapter is used, there shouldn't be anyproblem using any card as a drive...
