so I was looking for a MicroSD to M.2 adapter (shut up, it exists, and I have reasons to want it) and I found something way more cursed: M.2 (SDIO) to SD card slot!pic.twitter.com/GOv3zzoqOX

here's a card that doesn't look that weird. at first. So it's an ISA card with USB, right? that's rare (PCI was more common by the time USB got big) but why doesn't it have a bracket? and why does it say USB2ISA on it?pic.twitter.com/wgfWE1Wiq7
see, they expect you to use this with a powered backplane like this one and then you attach some ISA cards to itpic.twitter.com/cMXEBOeMZJ
so when they say "USB2ISA" they don't mean this adds USB to an ISA-based computer. They mean it adds ISA to a computer with USB.
So you can take your (let's go full silly) cell phone, and plug in a CGA card and now your android phone can run a CRT at 320x200 with 4 colors!pic.twitter.com/ag0q8xVfVE
please donate to my kickstarter so I can make it real please, this usb adapter thing is like 139$ and I am broke
BTW, have you ever wanted an SD to microSD adapteR? No, not the boring kind which let you use a microSD card in an SD card slot, the cool kind where you can use a full-size SD card in a microSD card slot!pic.twitter.com/ebBj6OcfFJ
have you ever worried that normal m.2 to pci-e adapter cards are just too sensible, and you'd rather just do the absolute minimum and risk damaging both the card and the slot?pic.twitter.com/wbHpZUFijh
have you ever thought that the real problem was that the front and back of your computer are backwards? well let me help you. This may seem confusing at first...pic.twitter.com/ylqpANUofb
but with a simple 5 step process you can now mount your PCI-E cards on the front of your computer!pic.twitter.com/D0aFUfPknS
and really, who among us hasn't wanted to have an upsidedown geforce sticking out the front of their gaming rig?pic.twitter.com/UhNhsparhU
here's another one that's weird, but mainly because it's internal. It's a USB to dual-SATA adapter, and that's common... but it's designed for being vertically mounted internally into a USB3.0 motherboard header.pic.twitter.com/WoiaQOXLkS
here's another one in that weird category. It's a USB to ethernet adapter, but instead of being a dongle, it's an internal expansion card, but with no PCI-E connection. Instead it's internal- USB.pic.twitter.com/P8HOIFLH5G
DDR4 extender! for when you need to move your DDR4 memory... away from the motherboard, because... reasons?pic.twitter.com/K6agw3kFab
have you ever wanted to use more expensive DDR2 SODIMM modules in a full-size DDR2 motherboard? No? Well fuck you, we made an adapter for it anyway.pic.twitter.com/YJsFXiQCls
Have you ever wanted to plug a gigabit ethernet connection right into a m.2 socket? AGAIN, FUCK YOU, IT EXISTSpic.twitter.com/B6gLV5whof
INDUSTRIAL USB FLASH DRIVE what's that mean? IT MEANS YOU CAN BOLT IT TO SOMETHINGpic.twitter.com/aa0j6kh7GS
have you ever wanted to mount an m.2 SSD in something that looks like it's supposed to be a medieval torture device?pic.twitter.com/zZsMlGUuyL
PCIe DOM! this is an SSD. But rather than bother with anything like cables or connectors, you just plug it right into an PCIe slot and BAM, storage.pic.twitter.com/3v6VKAaPPd
these are designed to be plugged straight into the motherboard (or IDE controller), with no cables needed.pic.twitter.com/3EjPqXLyJR
fun fact: some companies have taken this IDE DOM idea and given it a connector for some other devices. Like this one which takes CF cards (so it's a mostly-passive device)pic.twitter.com/Har4u6lY58
and the rare "USB DOM" the common name for this is just a "USB flash drive", but since it plugs right into an internal USB header...pic.twitter.com/nOgfFMdq5R
here's a weird one so many questions why is there no drive why is it upside down and why is it completely passive?pic.twitter.com/sJrwe1PaWH
It's designed to work with that weird 1.8" ZIF IDE hard drive format, so you connect the drive to the card using a ribbon cable.pic.twitter.com/cN5DHHUrmM
fun fact: memory slots are basically just really fast I/O ports, right? So why not use them to interface with m.2 or CFast memory cards? WHY NOT INDEED, that's what Apacer asked!pic.twitter.com/fd0JiHHxsA
Here's another thing that looks similar, but it's not. See all those chips? that's too many to just be a SATA controller... and they look like flash memory. So this isn't a DDR3-to-SATA adapter, it's just a SATA SSD that happens to mount in (and get power from) a DDR3 slot.pic.twitter.com/PWzZ6fSAEX
And here's another one that's weirder and weirder the longer you look at it. So it's a 5.25" bay mounted hard drive, but it's a RAM disk. Now a RAM disk is when you use some RAM like a disk, but this isn't on the motherboard, so... how is it RAM? how does it connect?pic.twitter.com/RY4I5VsFLE
see when they call this a RAM disk, they really mean it on the "DISK" part. It's SATA! It's a SATA drive you use like any other drive, it's just fast as hell because it's backed by RAM!pic.twitter.com/c6kE9N9tsv
