My old Fuji camera uses xD cards and I have successfully used type M and M+ cards up to 2GB many times without issue.
Lost my darned type H card, it was so much faster, don't know where around here I put it!
1200 readers, I hope you made a good profit! I got mad when I saw people reselling yours on ebay for 2-3x what you were selling them for.
Care to tell us any stories about how you came across all those? :lol:
I had aquired 4 batches total,900-pcd-50b NOS,1500-pcd-50b new(second batch cost me more), 100-pcd-60B used-this batch cost way more than the 50's)and 50-pcd-47b's as memory serves.
Well,i made a modest profit, no where near what i could of sold them for,but i was trying to give the amiga community something reasonably affordable.. the irony was Amigans bought hardly any of them and 90% went to sampler users. I sold very few in the USA,most went overseas
i would of thought amiga people would of went nuts for a new scsi cf for $69(i think is what i had the pcd-50'b initial batch priced.)
I built some custom ones for sampler users and a couple A3000 amiga users into slim 3.5" drive cases with power supplies and external scsi cabling.
I hated to see the price gouging also, but they were over $200 new originally. you would think new old stock should be cheaper.
I had to price them to move as quick as possible because what they cost me was like having a mortgage lol. (don't ask me about the 5 pin square din production run i did-yeow).
I actually found the original batch of pcd-50b's from Sikorsky (yep, the helicopter company). They had new old stock in a warehouse. I found them by tracking down a military NSN number for these drives which was no small feat.
This eventually led me to them by some obscure web site listing surplus inventory. It was a matter of getting to the right person after that. i think i spent over a month securing the stock-i remember being exhausted by the time 2-fedex trucks arrived with over 50 boxes to unload. But oh no! work wasn't finished yet! I had to flash each and every drive with a read/write firmware(they came write protected).
the pcd-50/60 was not bad, but setting up a old pc with win95 and a obscure adaptec scsi library to use the pcd-47b flash tools was a right pain in the butt.
No lack of exercise
I had a small batch of the rare pcd-47b drives, these were 4 slots and used 2 or 3-scsi ID's and no LUNS, they sold out the day i posted them. No amiga people bought any of these to my knowledge ,all went to sampler guys.
