When I went looking for a 5MB flash card, I tried "Active Data" first because
they had been mentioned quite frequently on AOL and, indirectly, on
zoomer-list.
I probably left a dozen messages on their answering machine and never received
a return call. Do they still exist?
I browsed Computer Shopper, but found it difficult to locate flash or SRAM
card suppliers. CS's index has "PCMCIA", but that includes modems and other
PCMCIA cards. It also has "memory cards", but that's mainly add-on EMS boards.
I ended up buying a 5MB Seagate/SunDisk flash card from a local computer
store (NCA, in Sunnyvale CA) for $419.
