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!?

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

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 :)

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 :)

got that thanks, I've had a look through and actually they're pretty much 95% 32MB, can't find any 64MB ones (unless I stashed them elsewhere).

Oddly though there are at least 3 96MB ones, Amiga_CDTV can have first dibs on those if he wants?

EDIT : New neater photo attached.

Stacks of 5 in each brand/type
three strips to left are ~32MB (some report 30), bottom right are 2 64MB and top-right are approx 96MB

There was one 256 and one 512. Those are MINE!!!

BTW : This is what I've done with the 128MB ones http://thedecibelkid.com/miis/#download

OOps, didn't realize people had been Private Messaging me about them, sorry (tiny number in grey on a blue background at the top-right of the website). Going rate seems to be about £2 a card - can fit up to about 8 in an international letter which costs around £3 to post
