I got this one as a promo piece with a P4 Northwood laptop I bought back in 2001. It was quite useful at the time, being much larger than any other comparable flash drive that was available - a 256MB CF card would have set you back around $110 or so from a reputable dealer.

I don't have anything capable of reading this anymore, so whatever is on it shall remain a secret. A new 512GB flash drive from Microcenter is shown for comparison, and it was $40.

It was kind of sad to see it finally die, but I guess things got cheap enough you could integrate almost anything into a system.

It was exciting at the time. Unfortunately, I was involved in other projects while the PCMCIA development work was in progress, but I was very interested in all of the new tech my department was working on and stayed enlightened at arms length.
