I'm wondering about other "media".
A local store has a special on this week. SanDisk 128MB CompactFlash
and SmartMedia cards for under US$50. Yes, I know they need the carrier
to fir in the PCMCIA slot. But this seems a good price. Great if it
works. Does it? Has anyone tried?
Then there are the the things like the Acom MultiFlash 6-format memory
card readers.
Then there are the USB Pen memories ...
OK, so the USB stuff needs one of the USB i/f PCMCIA cards.
Speaking of which, USB gives access to printers, keyboards, wireless,
ZIP and floppy, cameras, scanners ....
There's a lot of PCMCIA stuff that wasn't thought of when the Newton was
developed. How much of it can we use today?
