I was moving when you posted this and missed out :(  If you guys do this again in the future I hope to catch it.

Hopefully if there is a next time, it will be the 128mb version.

UPDATE: Apparently we had a large number of people back out and now we are short to meet the bulk discount.

Seldane, Missa, PMs sent.

Anyone else who is interested PM me ASAP.

Email sent, I am interested in 1 64M card.  (I'm mostly posting in the event my mail is filtered)

Oh yeah, and this card looks like liquid sex!  I was honestly worried about how it would look since there wasn't a pic listed on the first page.  Oh, the card is in megabytes, not megabits.  I was worried about 64 megabits, which it could have been, being a bit small.  64MB sounds like a lot to me though.  I could see one of these being so nice to pair with a core grafx system as a travel/vacation console.

No, it's in megabits - just like the sizes listed for HuCards.

Ah, I just went over the site again and apparently I was getting said info from a user review.  I was kinda wondering how the PC-E could handle a 64 or 128 MB card, but I figured they had figured out some kind of trick.  It's still a very sexy card as far as these things go :D

Indubitably.  If it were in megabytes, the 128MB version would hold 256 games with an average size of 4Mb.  That would likely be overkill for most, but I wouldn't complain one bit (or is that byte?)

when I got it it was white, not black. The r-type label was the same; its just a sticker.

I got mine a month ago, and it was white with the R-Type graphic as well.

Got this in the mail yesterday; Thanks again for organizing this purchase.

Anynow, no matter what I do, I can't get the USB Slim Loader IV working.
I always get a 'connecting fault', when I run the writing software. I am
using Win98se. Any help would be very greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Nimtene, I haven't received mine yet so I'm just speculating but two things spring to mind:

a) Perhaps the Slim Loader is not compatible with Windows 98. Is Win98 compatibility specified anywhere on the box or website?

b) I'd guess that the Slim Loader uses USB 2.0 technology. If your computer is older and only has USB 1.0 ports it's possible it won't be able to communicate with your computer.

When/if mine shows up I'll let you know more after I run through the process.

I don't know about Win98 compatibility, but it should work with USB 1.0, as certified USB 2.0 products are required to be backwards compatible with USB 1.0.  You never know with those crazy Chinese though; they sometimes get a bit artful when applying terminology.

That's why I said "it's possible." :)

I've had devices in the past that refused to work over USB 1.0 but worked fine over 2.0.

Hey folks, what's the scoop? Have you received the flash carts, and if so, what is the consensus?
