    WANTED: 128MB Compact Flash Card

    I'm having a harder time finding a reasonable source for this than you would think...

    I inherited an old digital diving camera with an enclosure that can't take a CF card larger than 128MB. I'm not even sure the camera works - but I don't have a card to test it. Would like to take it on my trip to Roatan in March.

    I'm hoping someone here has a card like this 'kicking around' in their 'junk drawer' - they are obviously pretty useless nowadays considering the small storage size.

    If you have one - I'd be willing to take it off of your hands for a small fee + shipping. Please PM me if you have said card....

    Best,

    coryb

        Thanks for the heads up.

        Yeah, I've found lots of online availability for this item (Ebay, Google, Amazon, etc.) - about 20$+ with shipping.

        I'm holding out for the 'yeah, I have one that I'm not using anymore....gimme 5$ for it and 3$ for first class mail and I'll send it to you' variety....

        This camera may be DOA anyway.

          Wow!

          Within 15 minutes - I have a 128MB CF card on it's way to me - thanks Pelligrini! Dealing with Ebay and Craigslist was consistently a 'dead end'...

          This forum continues to amaze me - this odd request for obsolete technology, answered in record time...

          Moderators can feel free to close this thread.....

            It's not olsolete tech, it appears that there is a need for it now.

            The box of ISA cards and 386 motherboards I ran across a couple days ago in my closet is obsolete tech.

              Are you kidding? If they have 72 pin SIMM slots, I may have the RAM, CDROM, and an old 4GB HDD that just might get that thing going again. That would be a great excuse to do a Gentoo Linux build... See not totally obsolete...

                Uhm, IIRC, the 386 boards manly used 30 pin SIMMs and SIPPs. I never saw a 386 that could use a drive larger than 540MB. 486 was a different story. 30 and 72 pin SIMMs could be used together on one I had, and it also accessed drives larger than a gig. That system got hit by lightning twice in a two month periods. Both times, it only took out the modem.

                      I'm sure I've got all the parts needed, 'cept for any jumper diagrams. I think a couple of them have Cyrix chips too. Don't know if my 5 1/4 floppies are good anymore... Anyone have drivers for an Orchid 1mb video card?

                        I know that some of you guys are a little more "seasoned" than me, but I felt like I needed the Geritol pills yesterday. I was talking with a couple of coworkers about our first computers. Both of them got introduced to computers with PII/PIII processors. I mentioned my first was a 286-12 with MFM drives. They had never heard of MFM, RLL or Winchester drives. Didn't bother to ask if they had heard of bubble memory. At least they do remember having to get up to change the channel on the TV.

                          Not obsolete—they make great plinking targets.
