Another disk imaging project

I have a parallel port version of the Databook ThinCardDRIVE, model TMD-500. This is an external PCMCIA drive for reading SRAM cards. IIRC, it does not read flash cards. The manual is copyright 1991 and specifically mentions using SRAM cards in the HP 95LX and Poqet. It was a white-box unit that I got on eBay about 4 years ago. At the time, they were listed fairly often. I heard that they had been surplussed by NASA in Alabama. Databook was aquired by another company, which does not offer support for these units. I did email them and got instructions for using the unit with Windows, but it does not always work correctly in Windows 95. I also have an internal PCMCIA reader, but I have to dig it out to get its specs. Jim, email me off-list at r(underscore)a(underscore)feldman(at)hotmail.com. I don't need both units.

There was also an ISA card with a cable to a PCMCIA slot in a holder that mounted in place of a 3.5" drive. ISTR the name as being something like "DataBook Thin Card Drive". The machine that it's in is not very conveniently accessible, but I might be able to get at it in a few weeks. If so, I'll dig it out, and confirm what it is. <snip> Grumpy Ol' Fred cisin at xenosoft.com
