FlashPath, Flash Path Floppy Disk Adapter for Smart Media

The FlashPath floppy disk adapter for SmartMedia.

This adapter is shaped like a standard HDD 3.5" floppy disk but has a slot on the side that accepts the SmartMedia Cards. This device is then placed into the floppy drive and the user can open the files just like accessing a standard floppy. SmartMedia technology allows you to both read and write to SmartMedia using the FlashPath adapter

The FlashPath adapter is perfect for those running older operating systems that do not have a USB port. The FlashPath works in just about any PC or Macintosh with a floppy drive. The data transfer rate is about 3x faster than using a RS-232 serial connection.

Up to a 128MB SmartMedia card can be read through your floppy drive, unlike the relatively small 1.44MB floppy disk. This makes it possible to use modern, faster, high-resolution digital cameras using SmartMedia and save the pictures to an older computer system.
