About how much money did that tiny piece of SanDisk plastic cost you?Old news... I'm genuinely suspicious of low price offers... rather stick to brands, less headache... (whilst I did have a 164GB SanDisk in my phone that fried after >1 year...)

Absolutely correct!
Ah, the joys of the file allocation table. You're entirely correct.My fake 512gb card would have z directory structure showing 512gb of files but only 14.9gb of them were actually there and not corrupted.
The Kaypro 2 had 5.25" floppies. Keep up Bob.Oh good, I can get some more 8" ones for my KayPro II!
My camera can only save 3 photos to the dual density floppy. Did I get ripped off?
