Compact Flash: la memoria dimenticata
Prima delle chiavette USB e delle schede SD, c'era lei: la Compact Flash.
Hai mai utilizzato una Compact Flash?

They wrote on their blog, Paula's random tech ramblings, on August 30 that the LT6502b is done, in a translucent orange case. It runs at 10MHz, comes with EhBASIC and a monitor program, and stores its files on a CompactFlash card.

Compactflash - C teir way too expensive. Otherwise they're cool.

I just don't think CompactFlash should be that expensive

My brain: Don't say it Don't say it Don't say it Don't say it Don't say it Don't say it Don't say it Me: What is the greatest gift you could receive from anyone? Compactflash card.

it's mindblowing how responsive a 1996 laptop is running period-correct software on an SSD (CompactFlash->IDE adapter)

ooo looks like the hdd can indeed be replaced the same as an ipod.

too bad compactflash is getting harder to find! www.head-fi.org/threads/comp...

Is it 4K? Hell no.

Is it some high megapixel powerhouse? Maybe for 2003, but today, hell no.

Does it use any super advanced sensor? No, it’s a SuperHAD CCD with a modified (RGB+Emerald) Bayer filter.

It is, however, a Sony camera that can record, unfettered, to CompactFlash.

I think it was loosely related to PC cards (or got used as such) but might have been an alternative to CompactFlash.

Estate admin really drives home a couple of points:

1. Having the means to read and back up legacy media (like CompactFlash cards) is invaluable

2. A lot of early digital photos are noticeably inferior to film and far harder to track down and organise than prints and negatives

Decent $10 yard sale haul. Might need the 256MB CompactFlash card for a future project, a DVI-D to HDMI cable is always good to have on hand, and the 1GB Creative Muvo V100 MP3 player is just for fun. I figure any of these off eBay would cost me more than $3.33 just for shipping.

Wrapping up the Compaq. Really interesting machine. Cyrix Media GX was ahead of its time in many ways. 486-derived with built in graphics and SB16. SoC if you will. And this Compaq is now in lovely condition. 😍

I had high hopes for this Presario working with a mechanical hard disk, however having tried several era-appropriate, known-working drives, I have had no luck and am resorting to something a little more modern.

Given current storage and RAM prices, this doesn't even seem far-fetched haha

#WeeknightWriters A3: I treated myself to the Sony Alpha A350 DSLR I always wanted. (It turns out that its CompactFlash cards are more expensive than the camera itself these days.)

I know the gotek/flash-floppy firmware has piezo speaker support built in, which does a somewhat decent job replicating the old cronchy floppy disk sounds. But I would love if I could find a CompactFlash/SD IDE adapter that also replicated old mechanical HDD sounds too.
The pleasing sound of floppy disk access

If there's CompactFlash, does anybody have SpaciousFlash?

Satellaview does have an IDE-like port in its own EXT port, which a CompactFlash adapter was made for + homebrew to showcase it

So, I recently acquired a Firewire CompactFlash reader. Unfortunately, I have no USB 1.1 card reader to compare against, but I have USB 2.0/3.0 readers of different vintage. It seems to perform quite alright compared to an older USB 2.0 card reader […]
