Kerrville, TX warehouse pics

A caution for USB flash drives, they are VERY static sensitive, and there is no way to write protect most of them. Many govt and high security companies have banned them because on most of them you can't password protect the entire drive, like you could a floppy. Yes, you can still encrypt individual files, but that does not meet their requirements.

I suspect that even legacy media isn't going to be around for too much longer. I'm fooling with some of the GoTek floppy emulator drives MCU--there's really not much inside, but they come in a nice 3.5" sized case with a 2-digit LED display and a couple of pushbuttons for selecting images. Mostly, the issue is not hardware with these, but the hosting software needed to write to the USB flash drive that's used with them. It tends to understand only DOS-formatted media. I suspect that some hacking can overcome that issue. I am aware that a new "slim" HxC emulator is in the works and I applaud the dedication of the developers. However,I'd just like to see an inexpensive commodity item being adapted for use. Correspondence with the manufacturer leads me to believe that if purchased in quantity, the price could be under $15. --Chuck ----- No virus found in this message.
