Do you think it is worth trying >a 3.3 volts card? Have you consulted Andy Baird's authoritative resource on the QuickTake 200 as follows? <http://www.andybaird.com/qt200/> It has a thorough discussion on adapters and readers for the unique 5.0-volt SmartMedia memory cards. As suggested in that website, I bought from LiveWarehouse the inexpensive Lexar Media "universal' USB card reader, which includes a PC-card adapter. I do not have a PowerBook 5300, but the adapter has worked well on a PowerBook 3400c, as well as IBM and Sony Windows laptops. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
