41: Worth getting a card reader?

[Garth Wilson]

I got a card reader quite a few years ago to have for housing an MLDL2000 or maybe something of my own creation in the shell. The MLDL2000 idea went down though and I now have a CLONIX-D module that's nearly full (having only 4K left which is not enough for the next ROM module image I would like which is 8K). Any need I thought I might have for doing my own MCode has also gone down, since Angel has provided so many great things in his ROM module images which dramatically improve program execution speed (and size) in any discipline. I've never even tried the card reader, since I have a couple of the tape drives that work perfectly, and I also have a double extended-memory module so the 41cx holds just about everything I could want, all at once. When I need more memory, there's always something I'm done with and can delete. I do keep hoping that someone will make something to install in a tape-drive housing to work with SD cards instead of tapes. This kind of thing could be built into a card-reader housing too, or a microSD card could even fit in the smaller modules; but if it's in the tape-drive housing and interfaced via HP-IL, all the file functions are already there (as far as the 41 is concerned).
