SM to CF card adapter for Oly DigiCam

Peteho · 02-18-03, 04:17 AM

I would like to transfer images from my SM card (used with Olympus C700) to Axim. Does anybody have experience with this.

I have found this item:

SM CF adapter

what should be one of the possibilities.

Do you know where to buy SM CF adapter?

Why would you use the SM to CF adapter when a SM can be used in a SD slot (AFAIK) ?

SM - SmartMedia
SD - secure digital

different not compatible cards (SM should be bigger)

oops... my mistake...I was browsing around and found a lot of SM and SD convertors... presumed that they were compatible.

Peteho,

I am also wondering about these types of adapters and found one from Pretec that claims to allow what you would like (i.e., using your SM cards in your PDA's CF slot).

Actually, I am also interested in using this adapter for a CF digicam (i.e., using my old SM cards in a CF-based camera), but when I emailed one of its distributors here in Canada, I was told that the CF compartment door on the camera would not be able to close with the adapter inserted.

PRETEC adapter

PRETEC costs 49+12shipping=61$. I expect price bellow 50$.

Probably i will wait for CF USB host adapter to connet my digital camera directly - should cost 100$.

whit this adapter i should be also able to connect Axim to external USB HDD and other USB accesories... as discussed in other thread.

One (DELKIN) from BUY com is OK - but i'm not sure it will work with axim..
