WTB: SmartMedia > 128 meg

[dunbar]

If anyone finds any links or retailers selling standard SmartMedia cards in capacities larger than 128 megs, please PM me. The SmartMedia consortium brags about gigabyte capabilities for SmartMedia, but when I searched pricewatch ast month, I did not see anything on the reseller shelves larger than 128 Megs.

TIA/HAND

smartmedia does not have the capacity to go any larger than 128mb thats why you dont see any. not even 256. just how it was built, it will not go any larger. thats why they changed to the new xd and sd cards to replace the smartmedia. CF was able to go to a gig and thats why they were so much more popular.

hope this helps

Do you have web links to manufacturer docs that explain why SmartMedia cannot get beyond 128 Megs?? I'm certain I have seen consortium docs that said gigabyte was under development, that is why I posted the WTB.

nope but i read it somehwere and am pretty certain. thats why they started teh xd and sd cards cause they had the technology to go to 1gb capacity. just the way it was built i guess.
