Help identifying a memory/program card case
I found a couple of what appear to be card cases mixed in with my stuff but I can’t identify them. They have no writing and are transparent with a light violet hue, 2-1/2” by 3-1/2” and about 1/4” thick. Photo link below. Do any of you have any idea what these are? They sure look familiar to me.

Looks to me like cases for PCMCIA cards. Similar to this: https://www.amtron.com/cardcase/pccardcase.htm -Matthew

Definitely cases for PCMCIA / PC Cards. I've seen these particular cases with the ridges on the sides before but I'm struggling to remember who used them. Megahertz maybe? -ken

It's probably a generic case used by a number of PCMCIA manufacturers, I've seen a variety of brands of PCMCIA linear Flash and IDE-compatible Flash in those cases. Becoming less common, but they were used a lot in industrial control stuff. Thanks, Jonathan
