Mailarchives (Re: TI-H: flash rom cards and hard drive experiment)

that reminds me... didn't they used to make something that was called a
"HardCard"? I think it was around in the early 90's. it was supposed to be
like a card that had memory chips or a small HD on it and it acted exactly
like a hard drive, but plugged in to an ISA slot? it was meant for a 286 or
something like that. it was an 8bit card if I remember correctly.
