Yeah. The TRV900 came with a PC card slot that was used for the included (get this) external 3.5" floppy drive! The drive was meant to store digital still pictures, but I never used mine. I mean, c'mon, even in 1998 it was useless.
Presumably, Sony would have extended the architecture to work with other devices, but as far as I know, they never did.
It's amazing. Goes to show what a durable little camera that was, we forget how old and antiquated it is. I got mine in 1998 and only replaced it with my DVX last year. I still use it as a capture deck, works great.

No Photoshop. I was just playing around and figured this would be a fun photo to take:
Sony were ahead of their time with that one. :cheesy:

You don't mean to tell me the TRV (PD100a) will write to P2 cards, do you? The guts weren't meant to transfer that data, were they??? Nah, it can't be!
Interestingly, the PD100a's card has a little slot to put Memory Sticks. Talk about overkill...
