Olympus 200-545 PCMCIA Adapter for Smart Media

Rating:
Summary: Works great with Windows ME. Needs Linux support.
Review: I plugged my PCMCIA smart media adaptor into my Windows ME box, and it worked perfectly with my 64MB smartmedia memory. My only complaint is that they don't have linux support for it.

Summary: Easy to use, almost!
Review: This adapter blows the doors off of other means to get the pictures from your Olympus Camera (for example, the D450Z) back to your computer. My wife uses our HP PhotoSmart P1000 printer to send the pictures back to her desktop, but I wanted something fast to use in the field. Enter the PCMCIA adapter! Simply plug the SmartMedia card in the end (up to 32MB in size) and insert into your Type II slot. It's treated as just another EIDE drive, so you probably already have the drivers available! Transfer rates are phenomenal, and it makes the Olympus "Slide Show" software much nicer to use as a result. Great for those after-the-party pictures at conferences! Be careful, though -- the instructions on the adapter on how to insert the SmartMedia card are accurate, but deceptive; I inserted the chip in upside down (which it will do without complaint, but won't work either) and was confused for a little while. Read what it says and shows, and you'll be fine.
