Hey Raymond... I'm curious about whether or not you figured out the formatting for that SmartMedia card. Did it need to be formatted for FAT12 or FAT16?

Turns out FAT12 goes to 64 meg ... but further research indicated that it wasn't the file system that was causing the camera to reject the card, it was the corrupt CIS ...

This sorta thing tended to happen a lot with the older Diamond Rio MP3 players because when they reformatted cards they wrote their own CIS's onto the cards and caused digital cameras to reject them. There is a well documented hack to get around it on the Rio as well as on the Zio cardreader/writer but none of them seem to want to work on the PCMCIA adapter I've got :-/
