Supported operating systems included Windows 98/98SE/ME/2000/XP, Mac OS 8.6 and above, Linux (Kernel 2.4 in USB 2.0 mode, Mandrake 8.1 and SuSE 7.1 in USB 1.0 mode).

The new HandyDrives are available from local dealers from November 2004. Recommended retail prices range from £90 to £176, including VAT. The package includes the HandyDrive Data Edition with manual and respective driver, a USB 2.0 cable, a Y-cable for two bus ports, and a carrying case.
