I was looking at some SmartMedia to PC card adapters but they cost an arm and a leg ... or are CF cards a lot closer to PCMICA (and hence their adapters would be a lot cheaper)? CD cards have the almost exact same pin layout as PCMCIA. The only difference is physical size. So a CF/PC card adapter contains nothing but wires that connect two connectors. SmartMedia and other flash memory cards do not have this interface logic built in. The adapter needs to have its own circuit to support the PCMCIA interface. That's why these adapters are much more expensive. > > I was just looking at getting an Olympus C-200 Zoom digital camera (I think its called the C-450 in the US) but the downside is that the only ways to get images out of it is either through USB or SmartMedia, neither of which is an easy proposition for the Libby. > True unless you got a L100/110. > For that matter, how much slower IS serial compared to USB as far as digital cameras go?
