Cool new USB host CF card

Has anybody tried Twin Paradox's solar express USB card yet? if so, any thoughts on it? It's a bit expensive, but looks really cool.

Thats awesome, and its only $80. Its much cheaper than RATOCs card which sells for $140 and was the only choice available till now.

Question new USB host CF card

Has anybody tried Twin Paradox's solar express USB card yet? if so, any thoughts on it? It's a bit expensive, but looks really cool.

Newbie's stupid Qs: if this plugs into the card slot, how will you access stuff on other cards?
Will this replace your card, AND add another usb?
If so,...way cool!

There is the Ratoic one, One that looks like a BT GPS with 2 ports, and this one with a dongle so similar to ratoic.

Thanks for posting this. Definitely looks like something I will want to get, assuming its performance is reasonable.

Cool

I heard from a reliable source that when the TwinParadox SolarExpress USB host card eventually comes out it will be bundled with Duke Nukem Forever since it has been in the state of being released next month for several years now... :)

Exactly. This thing is vaporware, although I'm pretty sure that they've come up with a new name for it and a new 3D rendered image of what it might look like.

I'm not sure why this one is the "SolarExpress® PDA II". Can you really come out with a 2nd version of something that's never existed?

I've seen the Ratoc, but what's the one that "looks like a BT GPS with 2 ports"?
I've not ever seen that one, does anybody have a link?

that sounds like the long promised piece of vaporware that twin paradox never released....

... as opposed to the shorter promised piece of vaporware described above which they may actually manage to ship, but i'm not going to hold my breath

Me either.


For those who care, here is Internet Archive's copy of Twin Paradox's Compact Flash Host USB Card webpage from 2003! (this is the one that I remember seeing previously)

This is what they were pretending their product was going to look like at that point in time:
