1. Comment - Samsung Builds Flash Based Disk Drive

   (May 25, 2005 - 12:49 AM)

   The Plus Hard Cards were ISA form factor full slot cards with a physical (MFM) HDD, not a memory based storage medium. I never found them to be less reliable than most of the MFM half height drives such as the ST-225 series. There were some attempts at bubble memory hard card sorts of devices, but they never caught on in any big way, and improvements in easier to manufacture and more reliable non volatile technologies pretty much left the whole approach in the gutter. Neat stuff to play with at the time though :-)
