so is there any chance this thing will work? lol

Chances are its not going to work. The machines that use the pcmcia card only recognize a 4MB card...at least that's what Ricoh told us in training. I was lucky enough to go to training way back when Ricoh was handing them out to the students everytime you went to a class.

They stopped when they realized how much they cost.

Try these contacting folks...we buy all our memory from them and I believe they may carry the 4mb proprietary card for use in the Ricoh products.

What model are you trying to update? The ones that use them are so old now, I can't remember the last time I had to flash a card to update a copier.

The Ricoh pcmcia cards can not be replaced with an off the shelf card. They look & feel the same but there is an internal difference to the Ricoh cards. Your boss will have to get you the tools you need to do the job right. He has already wasted more money on you trying to format the wrong card than what the Ricoh card would have cost in the first place.
