Here is a copy of a post on the Yahoo thread from a guy who puts CF in the products that he makes at work. It nice to see a real world application that hopeful will be happening over and over again in many other products at many other companies. Utilization by: SanDsk_User (32/M/MN) 1013 of 1016 The touchscreen computer that we are putting on our machines is made by CTC (Computer Technology Corp) which is a division of Parker Hannifin Corp (symbol:PH). CTC is a aprox. $35M (in sales) company that is standardizing many of their models to include the SanDisk CF. Currently they ship w/ 4MB CF's, but we are borderline with those, and may move to 10MB CF's. In a good year (1998 wasn't that great for semiconductor equipment mfr's) we would probably ship 300-500 machines or more with CTC's interface. We see their move to CF's as great for our co. as they make it easy to send software upgrades to our customers. No fooling around with download cables/special software (and instructions)...just pop the old one out and put the new one in. Also much easier for our manufacturing people during assy...programs can be loaded onto CF's and put into inventory, then added into the machines while checking out the equipment before shipping. I see this as one of many applications that are just being discovered. Sure digital camera's are going to be the mainstream, because that is a consumer item, but there are many industrial applications out there just waiting... Go SNDK!
