cards and external memory?

Ok. First topic is security cards. write a code for a door with a card reader, swipe ur blank card to set the code, boom! U have better security.and the external memory idea is self explanitory, have like a seperate drive indstead of a chest full of disks to make a super computer with multiple places for wires and modems. Maybe?

For the first idea, look to Immibis' Peripherals.

The second idea either makes no sense or is already possible.

ok, scratch the first one

For the first suggestion, you can do that now. For the second suggestion, how much portable memory do you need, man?

not portable, let me rephrase it. A central CPU to act as a central hub for like a nuclear base in ICBM to control everything instead of having dozens of computers linked together. Or to run multiple drives and/or modems. I'm thinking a 4x4 cpu that will give 4 places per side for addons. Cause I don't know about u guys, but I don't want to nuke the nearest village when I try to open a door.

already possible using a single program
if you really need to run different programs at once use coroutines or the parallel API
and by addons you mean peripherals, just use a lan cable to use multiple peripherals on one side
no redstone controlling though, its been suggested and denied, use computers

wired modems / peripheral will allow one computer to run as many different devices as you need.

for "external memory" you will probably need something like a disk drive connected to the wired modem

What's the point of this? There are peripherals? and the external memory is called disk drives. :)/>

please, please, please stop reviving 2 and 3 month old topics.

Or at least only revive ones that you actually find interesting.

and have something valid to input that is worth saying. not just "i like it"

Just create a directory that lasts on the computer :D/>

mkdir <name>

Then

cd <name>
DO NOT WRITE THAT IN A PROGRAM!

I'm gonna lock this.
