WATCHOUT FOR BAIT & SWITCH BY SURPLUSCOMPUTERS.COMSaturday, December 11, 2004
I paid for a KINGSTON 128 MB SmartMedia Card and Surpluscomputers.com substituted a PQI brand which I've never heard of. Jerked me around for a week when I wanted a replacement or refund, asked for my address several times, etc., finally, after a week got a refund from Amazon.com. CAUTION: SURPLUSCOMPUTERS.COM IS DISREPUTABLE IN MY BOOK. BUYER BEWARE ! NOT THE KIND OF THIRD PARTY MERCHANT I EXPECT AMAZON.COM TO BE DOING BUSINESS WITH !

I purchased this Viking Smart Media card for my Olympus C4000 in July, based on recommendations I read here. I ended up using it right away for several work related events. It is absolutely wonderful and a can't miss for the price. I recently purchased a second one and may get a third soon as I keep seeing that Smart Media may go away soon.
This is a great media card for the price, especially when you consider like brands sell for much more.

incompatibility issuesWednesday, March 19, 2003
Bought one new. Doesn't work in any of the following cameras:
Olympus C4040, C3020, C4000, E20. Got "media error" when trying
to format. Can't access it from a PC using a PCMCIA adaptor.
Can format and read/write fine using a Memorex USB reader.
Filed a warranty claim with Kingston and got a replacement.
Still can't work in E20 but can work in a C4040. Will sell it
on eBay soon.

Huge Things Come In Small PackagesSaturday, January 25, 2003
It's amazing that 128 MB can fit in something that is about 1/100th the size of my 100 MB ZipDisc. The card works fine, and that's all you can ask it to do. The price is great also, considering that when I bought my digital 4-track, the store tried to sell me a sililar 128 MB smart disc card for 100 bucks. If you're into anything digital, this is the way to go.
