Welcome to the isostick wiki. The isostick is an optical drive in a USB stick, designed and built by [http://elegantinvention.com/ Elegant Invention].

We're in the process of bootstrapping the wiki, so it may be a bit sparse to begin.

You'll likely want the [[Tested Hardware]] page or [[Tested Cards]], as they're currently the only things on the wiki.

'''Note:''' You'll need to create an account and confirm your email address before you can make any changes to the wiki.</rev>
