Maria,
Just another opinion...
My Dad has a Zio! USB CF reader for his G4 iMac. Works fine, but last I checked, he would get kernal panics in Panther when waking from sleep with the Zio! plugged in. Not sure if this is the case with SmartMedia.
Also, if you don't have any plans to use other types of media anytime soon and don't mind spending a few more $$, look into a PCMCIA adapter for SmartMedia. I think some are even 4-in-1. And IIRC, PCMCIA speeds are faster than USB 1.1? IIRC PCMCIA is on an internal ATA bus?
Hope this helps. Shawn

Hi:
I have an Olympus C1400L digital camera which uses SmartMedia (3.3V) cards. This is an older camera but takes marvellous images. It connects to computer with a serial cable, alas, not USB.
I have a G4 867/Titanium Powerbook on OSX 2.8 (USB of course) and I want
to be able to transfer the camera images to it.
I do not want to buy a new camera. There must be a way to get those images to the laptop - which accepts PCMIA cards Type I and II.
Card adapter? Card reader?
What should I be looking for?
Maria
