I've seen what is presumably the half sized one, but unfortunately it
was damaged, so I've never been able to use a working one.

Regarding the UniDisk 3.5 on the UDC: I could have sworn that I've had
reports from some people that this combination did NOT work.  Perhaps it
is possible that the newer version of the UDC does not support the
UniDisk 3.5, while the older one did work.  Another possibility is that
it might have been broken for one firmware version.

Can anyone else out there confirm that they have failed to get a UniDisk
3.5 working on a UDC?  If so, can you please let us know which UDC
version it was, and any other identifying characteristics.
