   Hej Wilfred!

   I am guessing they still are but won't bet the farm on it.  To find out for   
   sure I'd need to find a proper adapter.  The only card reader I currently have   
   within arms reach is a usb microSD.

   Cool.  If/when I find the compact flash disks I may have to locate one of   
   those.  I haven't seen one in decades now.

   Probably but I have heard rumours that they are still in use.  If it mattered   
   at all I know where I'd start looking.  I think I might have a HP DAT drive in   
   one of the totes which is a vastly shrunken down tape drive.  Not nearly the   
   same other than the media being magnetic tape.  Also the 9-track tape drives   
   require far more power then what I care to give them as well as the tapes   
   being really expensive.   
      
   Of course it is totally different when it is somebody else's dime.
