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.

PCMCIA was a game changer, but fuck if I didn't hate it with every fiber of my being. Might have just been me, but every device I'd insert into the slot never engaged correctly. I'd fiddle fuck with them for what seemed hours before they seated properly. Modems were the worst. I was so happy when USB arrived.
