.. Just to seed a few idea's - has anyone seen these wireless SD cards? http://www.eye.fi/cards/ They are wireless SD storage cards. Information is used in one system, but updated wirelessly by another. I cant help but think, a wireless SD card in a II with a wireless connection back to, say, a PC, which would serve as a "Dynamic Hard Disk" for a II. As soon as an image is downloaded, it goes strait onto the II's hard disk - ready to go. Alex's Pseudo Disk ][ pretty much already works this way - especially since it works with FAT formatted SD's and compressed images.
My understanding is that they are "one way" devices that send new .jpg files to a (PC) server--or, actually, *through* a PC running their proprietary software to an internet server. It is meant to be a "turnkey" application, and it's hard to separate out the actual functionality limits of the card vs. the PC program vs. the server. There is certainly no functionality to write files to the card via the wireless link. -michael NadaNet and AppleCrate II: parallel computing for Apple II computers!
