  Duration of ownership: 1 Weeks

  Strengths: 1. USB/Serial port and interface cables not needed. 2. Uses familiar A: floppy Windows/Mac/NT interface. 3. Saves your battery drawdown compared to camera USB/ serial port method.

  Weaknesses:1. USB connection to camera is faster. 2. Floppy uses 2 buttoncell batteries that will wear out at some point also, but if reading only from SmartMedia, will last very well.

  Overall Evaluation: Found this floppy interface very useful. The hardware (floppy itself) is compatible with SmartMedia from 2 MB to 128 MB using Win 95/98/SE/ME/2000/XP, MAC, or NT 4.0 by just updating the software drivers available at FlashPath supplier SmartDisk.com. I loaded it with no problems and it has worked excellently for me, both using it with my camera and using it as a high density floppy drive (up to 128MB using highest density SmartMedia chip). Very versatile for xfering large files, like pic type, from one PC or Operating System platform to another. My camera was an Olympus D510 Zoom and I was not only able to download my pic files much more conviently using my FlashPath floppy (no camera specific cables/sw required), but was also able to transfer previously downloaded pic files from my PC back to my camera using standard Win drag and drop (write) file xfers to the floppy (not something you would tipically want to do but demonstrates write to SmartMedia cabability). Highly recommend.
