I found one of these in an old drawer
Google could find only two pictures on the entire internet
this was a pretty hot item in its day

one of the 1st formats was "smart media" which was a really dumb format cause the card was flexible so therefore easy to damage

Obviously, I found a drawer full of stuff I haven't seen in a while

I also have an Imation adaptor that converts Smartmedia or CompactFlash or MemoryStick into USB

I pulled all these out of my sock drawer the other day.

You'd be surprised at the things still hidden down in there.

Santa bought me something for Christmas, so it doesn't really exist, but if it did, it reportedly uses SmartMedia cards for backup. Never had a chance to use these before and by modern standards they're pretty cramped but I always thought they were the coolest looking flash medium.
