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)? 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. For that matter, how much slower IS serial compared to USB as far as digital cameras go? Anyone got any figures for time taken? - Raymond __________________________________________ Get your free domain name and domain-based e-mail from Namezero.com New!
