If you don't know how to program then how do you write the custom
software you need to pull images off the flash card, and then index,
sort, and process them in exactly the way you want?

The "Next Big Thing" when I was a programmer was top down, structured
programming (COBOL and 370 Assembler).
Like Jane, I remember the days fondly, the nights not so fondly, and hardly
ever wish I still had a clue what goes on under the hood.
I was one of the lucky ones. We had terminals to do ou
Wow!
I hadn't noticed. There are some very interesting

In fact, I had a 2gb 80X Lexar card at the time that was in the serial
number range of the "Bad" ones, although I hadn't had any trouble with it.
When I called Lexar to see about returning it, they were happy to give me an

Punch tape and ALGOL 60, any takers? We used a little hammer and a chisel of
sorts plus generous amount of masking tape to fix the coding errors. There was
no keyboard per se. We used rows and rows of flip switches to punch in the
command. You flip a row of up to 48 toggle switches, then push a

Quite so Francis.
Unfortunately in my case I became too obsessed with
hardware and forgot about most everything else.
Fortran, Assembly, a tad of C, Acad and a couple weird
OSes were all I ever got into. I kinda tuned out when
the object oriented craze started. (I think it's still
going) Instead I

Hi
Actually ISA IDE cards were very common because the
clone AT board makers did't have much embeded. Some of
those cards could be used in AT or XT mode. The hard
item to find would have been an XT 8 bit card but I
think they may have existed as well. There were even a
few ISA 8086 boards for that

I have one of those.
