Usb Smartmedia Adapter Driver For Mac
Hello all, I have an old Olympus C-920 Zoom digital camera and I'm having problems getting the pictures from it onto my iBook. As it is old it has a serial connection that works OK (ish) with my old G3 desktop and OS 9 but as I don't use that much anymore I was hoping I could get to work with my iBook. I've got a smartmedia card reader (USB) that takes the memory cards the camera uses but my iBook refuses to recognise it. OS 9 is quite happy to see it (again on my old G3) but no dice on my iBook. This means I have to boot my desktop up in OS 9, load on the images, reboot it in OS X, connect to my iBook (OS X) and copy the images over via ethernet. I've looked all over the net for drivers but to no avail.
I was hoping that as it a Mass Storage thingy (?) that OS X would 'just work' with it but alas no (even though OS 9 does!). Any help out there.? I have a SmartDisk Universal reader which can read all the current removable media types, including the one you have. It will even read that Sony memory stick. If you have OS X 10.1.2 or higher, you will not need a driver. The card shows up as a disk image on the desktop.
These run $30 U.S. The model number of the one I have is 6IN1USB. The web site is: I have to use one because I have a serial interface IBM WorkPad z50, which runs WinCE. It won't sync to a Mac. So I save all my docs as rich text files, and put them on the memory card.
Then I can easily load the files onto my Mac. I hope this helps. I have found that to be true as well. My original Sandisk flash memory card reader won't work in X. But then it wouldn't always work under 9.2 or various versions of windows; sometimes Win2k would recognize it and sometimes it wouldn't.
I don't think that the USB 1.1 specs were always followed too closely by some manufacturers. Port 0001 hub 0005 driver for mac free. That makes me a little skeptical about USB 2.0. On the other hand, I have never had a problem with Firewire devices. Try to find a newer floppy drive that will work with X and then sell your old one to some unsuspecting Windows user. Be careful about using SmartMedia cards in the readers. Under no circumstances should you permit iPhoto to erase the card.

Also, don't write anything back to the card. It's bad enough that OSX writes those stupid.DSStore files. Mucking about with the SmartMedia card on your Mac's Desktop runs the risk of rendering the card unusable. Only erase the card in your camera. Don't use the card for 'misc. Storage' (like it's a Zip disk).

I'm not bad-mouthing SM cards for fun; I have an Olympus C2020 that's had problems with cards I use in my SmartDisk reader (and other brands, as well, so it's not a SmartDisk problem). I've 'rescued' SM cards for others using some available software. The next camera I buy will use more robust (and industry-standard) media like CF.
