Re: G4 Titanium and Olympus C1400L
I use a USB card reader to download pics from my Olympus to a Wallstreet OS 9.1.Unload 68 pictures in under 30 seconds. Cost 11.00.

I have a noname 6-in-1 USB card reader I got for $30; I've seen them since, cheaper, but I have three digital cameras, each of which uses a different memory standard. PCMCIA adapters are faster for CF cards, I think, and if you're not going to get a camera that takes different memory cards is the cheaper, lighter and more convenient solution. My first digital camera used Compact flash and I got a Sandisk PCMCIA adapter for them for $8. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharm acy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: G4 Titanium and Olympus C1400L
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.

Re: G4 Titanium and Olympus C1400L
Get a USB Lexar GS-UFD-20SA-TP card reader, which reads all types of cards and you will be set. Tom I do not want to buy a new camera.
