Works excellent. No Cardbus required for the 2400. I have the Fujifilm
version. $75USD at buy.com (no relationship).
Comes up as a XMB drive/card that is PC formatted wherein X is the size of
the SmartMedia card. You can write info to it as the Finder info is
written and it shows up on my ThinkPad as a HD. You can delete the info
for more space on the card (if you can see it on a PC). If someone knows
if the CompactFlash adapter works in the same way on a 2400, I might
consider a camera using the CF as the cards just hit 320MB.
One caveat, though very minor. You cannot edit a .jpg and write it back
to the card and view it on your camera. At least not on a Fuji 600MX.
For some reason, Photoshop doesn't write the .jpgs back in a completely
standard format or the camera doesn't use one. Oh yeah, don't format the
card in the 2400 either.
Cool part is that it is extremely fast - just copy all your pictures off
the card as usually, but faster.
