This device that the article speaks of is most likely the IBM Microdrive. The Microdrive is basically a really small hard drive. The hard drive platters are a bit bigger than a quarter. The max size right now is 1GB. Which, according to the article, is the storage size of this device.
Keep this in mind folks. The device in that picture is NOT an IBM Microdrive. It is a Compact Flash card (made by TDK, at that). But the Microdrive is about the same size as that.
Edit: Well, wait, this is old but, whatever happened to this thing?
