Starter cards.  Ask nicely and a camera shop will give you a handful.
Useless for cameras, but IDE adapters are cheap (SD & CF now) so you can
them as drives in dedicated PCs.  CNC is a good example, OS & program on
one, data on the other.  (It's like the 1970's all over again...)

There's always data loggers as well.
