Is there such a thing as a PCMCIA RAM card?
I believe PCMCIA is a memory bus that has been hacked to do other things.
One big problem, though. Back in 1992, when the slot came out, the memory bus was 16 bits wide, just like PCMCIA. Now it's more like 64 bits wide. -- I believe in having an open mind, but not so open that my brains fall out. |

I've seen 5G HDrives on a pcmicia card, believe it or not, but havent really
seen RAM yet (which makes much more sense to have in a card than HD's, come to think of it). wrote in message ... Is there such a thing as a PCMCIA RAM card? I know once upon a time, back in Apple II days, you could put RAM on a card and get more that way. Granted, the PCMCIA thing would be half system bus speed, but it would likely be much faster than the damn swap file on the HDD, no? |

It would me much less than half the speed. Try a hundred times slower then
you get the idea why no one makes them anymore. "MrFlash" wrote in message ...
