Introduction
This is an Installation and User Guide for the SimpleTech® Smart Media (SM)Flash® Card (SSFDC) and
the SmartMedia Flash® Adapter. The SimpleTech SmartMedia Flash Card is a super small form-factor
card used in several devices including Digital Cameras, Personal Digital Assistants (PDA), MP3 music
players, digital voice recorders, and other electronic devices such as cell phones, and pagers. The
SmartMedia Flash Card is a solid-state, nonvolatile removable and reusable mass storage which shows up
as an ATA hard drive to the host. However, compared to ATA/IDE/ESDI hard drives with rotating discs,
the Solid State SmartMedia Flash Card is extremely rugged and very compact.
The SmartMedia Flash Adapter allows the SmartMedia Flash Card to plug into a PC Card socket.
Therefore, the SmartMedia Flash Card with the SmartMedia® Adapter provides removable mass storage
to thousands of hosts that have PC Card sockets, standard on many notebook computers.
The SimpleTech SmartMedia Flash Card is available in several capacities for your specific applications.
The SimpleTech SmartMedia Flash Card Adapter is also available for using SmartMedia Flash Card in
PC Card (PCMCIA) slots. Visit
