Poop. I wish there was a way to have it store "volumes." E.g., my entire
book of appointments for 1996. That way I can recall notes, meetings
etc.,
which my old Franklin Day Planner always allowed me to do. I suppose if
I
move the files onto the card, don't take it out for a year, then switch
(i.e., start afresh) each year with a new RAM card---probably backing up
the old card's data onto floppies or tape---this might work.

Hm. Aside from the slight difference in speed, it seems MAGICRAM's
FLASHRAM is
the way to go. For the same price ($250) as a 2MB SRAM card, y'all get
4MB.
