    Thanks a lot for the rich information presented here! I wonder if linear flash proves any performance advantage over ATA flash or Compact flash on the 200lx?

    Tengo un montón de tarjetas en venta todas linear porque creía que no servían para mi 95lx. Ya mismo voy a ver si pillo el ACECARD en mi disco duro. GRACIAS! Quiero saber si consumen o no batería... Las otras si. Todas!

      Hay una modificación que permite utilizar tarjetas en el 95LX sin agotar la batería. ¡Lo hice en el mío y funcionó! A ver si puedo hacer un vídeo sobre este tema.

      Si por favor! Creo que no las líneas flash. Tengo una de 32mb CF funcionando pero me gustaría que no drene la batería y tenerla siempre insertada.

    Parabéns pelo vídeo. A um bom tempo estou tentando fazer funcionar esses cartões lineares nos meus dispositivos. Poderia disponibilizar os arquivos ou algum link?

      Olá Marcelo, grato pelo comentário! Estes arquivos possuem direitos de licença e por isso postá-los aqui infringe as políticas do youtube. Os que estou usando vieram instalados em um antigo notebook 386 que tenho, mas você deve achar eles online se pesquisar :)

      I was able to track down ms-flash.sys(ver 2.00b and 2.00c), and MEMCARD.EXE(75KB, ver 1.0 and 2.0), the tip here is to search "Gericom P6300 Driver". Good luck

    Hello. I have a 4MB White Electronics Desgins Linear PCMCIA card and an 10 MB Intel Linear PCMCIA card (both of them should be 16 bit, and can write/format on 12 V, i m not sure in that) Can you help me out, how to read/format on them? I cannot fined a proper hardware nor softwares to check whats on them and write new stuff on it. But i dont have 600-1500 dollars for a omnidrive. Can i contact you somehow you would save me.

      You don’t actually need an Omnidrive. Your best (and cheapest) bet is to find an old (1994 or 1995) laptop in working condition and use it to read/write the card. Laptops later than that usually don’t have the 12V line anymore on the Pcmcia slot. There’s even a software called Memory Card Explorer that enables you to read write these cards, and it works under Windows as long as you have a laptop with a real full standard Pcmcia slot :).

      Ahh okey, and can you help out with sofwares that i need? Or the cards will plug and play on old machines? Will win95 recognize them( i m stupid for ms-dos 😂)

      @@dzsymy2805 hello and sorry for the late reply. Any laptops from 1996 or earlier should conform to original pcmcia standards. I have a 486 HP Omnibook that does :)
