I've used 8" floppies (in a CPT word processor), but I've never even seen a 12" floppy, though I did write a program using punch cards. Mr. Bill Ken Lin wrote: I told him I've seen (although not used) 8" floppies, and I've even seen 12" floppies. * ***

What we need is for the list to tell us a message didn't make it, and why. Posting and waiting to see if someone responds is a frustrating way to use the list. -- Schlake This is my gmail account, I can also be reached at [EMAIL PROTECTED], if the TCC is working. * ***

Actually, finding an IDE controller for an ISA card slot would be no easy task, since virtually all hard drives in the days of the XT were either MFM, RLL or SCSI (ESDI was too minor to count). By the time the 16 bit bus appeared in '84, Compaq was using lots of Conner IDE drives in their 80286 mac

OK That makes even more sense. I assume you can use both slots at the same time. Since IDE supports 2 drives/channel and I guess the sd is acting like an ide. Later Javier Javier http://www.ultragone.net www.ultragone.net ___

I guess it begs the philosophical question What would you call a guy who has an XT PC with an 8 bit ide controller with a ide-pcmcia adapter going to pcmcia to CF adapter going to a CF to SD adapter going to a 4gb sd card and no OS to boot with? Who does his tech support? I should try that some

I figured out on my own a long time ago that deleting images from a CF card and continuing to shoot was a losing proposition and I stopped. CF cards are designed to run circularly through their memory to avoid wearing out any cells. They used a primitive filesystem that is about as robust as usi

Sure when I find a Mk2 parts or as-is for like 1200 like I did my 1Ds! Seriously, there's no way I would pay more than that for a camera no matter how good or modern it was! I had no idea the Mk2 had an sd instead of a cf. I'm not surprised. The SD is a better and more resilient package than the cf

Hi Schlake, > CF cards are designed to run circularly through their memory to avoid > wearing out any cells. I'm not sure that's the reason. The reason is for access time, they want to keep the files concurrent, as in, no scatter/gather. It's a valid reason, but causes problems if you have file

Is this seriously an issue? I've shot hundreds of thousands of photos on my 10D, 1D, and 1D.2, chimping heavily and deleting much. Still do and always will chimp and delete on the fly. Since buying my first DSLR somewhere around 6 or 8 years ago I have had exactly 1 compact flash card go bad on me.

I wonder if the problem was with the cameras or the CF cards since the same CF card could be used in a Canon, a Nikon, a Cisco router, etc. Does the camera, or device that uses a CF card, just present the file to the CF card? Each might have it's own way of formatting the data so the log

No. It has a 1394 port and a cf slot. But you can get an adapter that allows you to use oither smaller cards. That's the best betr because you don't play with the delicate cf pins. Instead you play with the more rugged card edge of the smaller card. Javier Javier http://www.ultragone.net www.ult
