hundreds of 32MB CF Cards
« on: December 22, 2014, 01:55:47 PM »
So my dad somehow ended up with several hundred compact flash cards. It seems that most of them are 32mb but I'll be going through them all and testing them to see if any are 64mb or even higher. Question is, what to do with them all!?

If only they did these with more slots: http://uk.startech.com/HDD/Adapters/25in-SATA-or-USB-to-Dual-Compact-Flash-SSD-Adapter-with-RAID~2CF2SATAR

It would still a complete waste of time, but fun testing it

Build a giant RAID-0 out of 'em.  Super-fast!  Better hope none of 'em fail!  :lol:

I know a bunch of experimental electronic musicians and the like, maybe they'll want to release an EP on an unusual format :D

Would be perfect for IDE/CF solution for ZX-Spectrum, you do not need more than 32 MB in most cases.

ok, so I've had a rummage and quite a lot are in fact ~128MB, havent had time to properly catalogue them all but there are LOADS. Will probably check/format them all (slowly, my card reader is in a %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@! computer ATM, need to move it) and then bundle them into batches

right, I've syphoned off the ones I want(for now), all the >= 128MB  ones. There are about 50 to 100 32/64/96 MB left over. Here's my stash :)

I will just put this picture here, because I'm feeling like an ass, and not everyone can access Twitter just to look at a picture.  ;)

Right, sorry for the 10 month delay, here's a photo of the random-pile-of-CF-cards. I'd say it's about a 50/50 split between 32MB and 64MB. I can't be bothered to count them. Will happily post to whomever bagsys them first, so long as you refund my postage :)
