Schmudde Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 So these looks pretty darn cool Anyone have one? https://apfram.com/# > Your one-of-a-kind memory card with USB, that has never been done before! No driver need to be installed! No mods required! Plug and Play! I don't understand the USB component. Is it just USB compatible or is there a physical component I don't see?

Hawkangel Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I saw these on eBay. They look great. An easy way to transfer files on a modern PC to a Portfolio, even if not directly. My wallet says no though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilsaluki Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I asked the seller several questions (from his website). No responses yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoore Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Mine has arrived, hoper to get chance to test it tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoore Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 And it works perfectly as far as I can see. One small exe you need to launch on a PC with the adapter connected via USB, then you get a simple text interface to upload/download files. Plug it in to the portfolio and it is there as A: Now I just need to find some software as I've not had one of these for at least 20 years!

gilsaluki Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Confirmed working well too! Got mine today. Uploaded some files to the Port today. I am not that proficient with MS-DOS commands, so there will be some learning. One thing I do need to learn fast is setting up folders in MS-DOS. But, I was able to download a .doc file and was able to read it on the Port. One annoyance: My McAfee keeps quarantining the EXE file for the card. I have to turn off the Virus protection and RESTORE the quarantined file to use it. Very annoying. Anyone know how to tell McAfee that the file is okay with me and stop quarantining my file? Having a memory card where you don't have to remember to change the battery is a huge advance. Now I need to see if I can upload text file up to my PC. If anyone has done that. How do you read the file on the PC? Will Word interpret it, or will it be a jumbled mess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilsaluki Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 So far I am able to download files to the Port from the PC, something I have never been able to do in all the time I have owned my Port, 25 years. So, the card has been a good buy for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilsaluki Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 educated myself on some MS DOS commands, like MD (make directory) to creat sub-directories. Stuff I have never done in past years. Also, Move, to move files to the newly created sub-directories. Stuff that is now so obsolete, but necessary for lots of files on a single memory card. It really is like its 1989 using this thing.

+Al_Nafuur Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Is anyone in Germany interested in doing a Sammelbestellung (bulk order) of the 512K card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I am. But for only 20 bucks more, you could get 1M. 10 bucks more again and you get 1.5M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
