RE: OT Compact flash or smart media

["Des Gibbons" <des@xxxxxxx>]

There is a PCMCIA adaptor, and a 3.5" floppy adapter, and of course a
parralel and usb adaptor for smartmedia.

I wouldn't push smartmedia though as others have said, it is limited in the
capacity it can grow to :/

It just happens to be the Fuji standard, and I am a big fan of their
cameras
( for snapshots b4 anyone complains ;) )
