Hmm, SmartMedia is a little slower. I just got a Zio SmartMedia adapter with a
USB connector, because USB off the Olympus is not exactly blazing fast (unless
you contrast your serial speed...) It took 1 minute to *write* 16mb to the card
(Mac OS 9), and took about 30 seconds to read it off the card.
Browsing, deleting, and renaming individual photos from the card device was
painless.
