With 8GB sticks coming out for less than $20, it’s no wonder why our old 128mb sticks have been stuffed away in drawers, never to me used again.  Learn to resurrect your old USBs and make them into a physical “key” for your computer, portable OS, and more.

  1. Create a physical key for your computer, so it only boots when your USB is inserted.
  2. Turn them into portable NES, SNES, Game Boy, Genesis, and arcade emulators.
  3. Carry your own portable Linux operating systems.

For an entire list of how to reuse your old drives, see the full guide and our USB projects.
