    also using CF cards as substitutes for HDD is retarded. just get ide card readers and boot from an SD.

    US seller means you don't have to wait 3 fucking months for it to arrive dumbo

    SD cards are not as fast or durable as CF cards. For a hard drive solution a CF card is better...or better yet get the IDE to Sata adapter so you can use SSDs.

    Imagine putting fucking 98SE on a damn 486 and thinking you'll have a good time.

    Pretty much this. Don't use SD unless you're prepared to have total system failure every couple months.

    I got a 486 machine for windows 3.1 and msdos.

    I have a pentium for windows 98se.

    I already got an xp machine.

    Linux lappy.

    Windows 10 on my gaming machine.

    Why even bother with 3.1 what you could put 3.12 with networking support on it and at least be able to just transfer files via ethernet?


    There, it was suggested so now he won't do the best possible thing he could do networking wise.

    Irrelevant, an SD card will be slower in any operating environment than a CF card...your question is also irrelevant to the fact they are less reliable.

    relevant because if your IDE can only read and write a fraction of the speed of what a modern SD card can read and write, then it wont matter.

    again.

    How are SD cards noticeably any less reliable than CFs? I mean how much writing to the card does a 90s OS do?

    The micro SD card in my dashcam died last week, I thought it was the dashcam and nearly ordered another one (It kept shutting down as soon as it started up)...I figured I'd check the SD card in my computer though before ordering and sure enough it was dead. Stuck a new one in and back to recording stupid drivers.

    because you dont use it according to manufacturers' spec.

    did you leave it baking in the sun in hot and humid environment of over 55°C ?

    YAS QUEEN...for about 4yrs.

    a CF card would have lasted 5yrs.

    speeds that IDE on a 486 couldnt utilize.

    its like having a 3 mile runway for a fokker twin prop.

    An Indian woman rear ended me a couple of years ago and the dashcam video (with rear cam) was instrumental in a settlement in my favor.

    you should have rear ended her as a condition to settle.
