Great Product, but read on....
By John J. Victor
I recently purchased an Olympus digital camera and took the suggestion from one of the reviews and purchased a floppy adapter. I'm very happy with it! It makes downloading pictures much easier, and can also be used as a general purpose, large floppy disk. In fact, I use it much more to transfer files between PCs than as a camera accessory.
My recommendation is to buy one, but NOT this one! Again from one of the Olympus reviews, I found the real manufacturer of these adapters--a company called SmartDisk. You get the same thing for $20 less, plus if you use SmartMedia cards, you get an 8MB card included free (at least as of 2/20 stated as a "Limited Time Offer"). I suggest you check it out!

Works great - Beware of batteries!
By A Customer
I bought one of these units and it's true that you can use it with supplied software in 3.5" floppy drives. The con: It uses (2) internal disk batteries and they have a short life. Possible better choice: A memory card reader - either parallel or USP. They are very fast and the files show up as a hard drive on your computer.

By A Customer
This thing works great, and it's so much faster than the serial cable method. If you have a camera that uses SmartMedia, then this is a no-brainer. Get one. However, I'll let you in on a little secret. These devices are made by SmartDisk, and several manufacturers (including Olympus) slap thier logos on them and sell them. All of them are the same internally, but the price varies quite a bit!
