I know that technicly everything is supposed to work, but it doesn't. Which brands from all yall's personal experience for SMARTMEDIA work and don't. I can afford viking media, and a sandisk drive, but the sandisk media gets a bit pricy.. any help?

I have a Fuji 8 megabyte card which works, and another one whose brand is not printed on it, but it is the one that came bundled with the module I got from Palgear. Does anyone know what this might be, btw? Are you sure that the card is not damaged? I know that Smartmedia can be fairly easily damaged by static. If you have a card reader or digital camera, perhaps you could see if it works with a device other than your Memplug.

The SmartMedia that PalmGear is putting with their alleged MemPlugs is an SMC.

PiDeveloper, he doesn't have an actual problem, hes just trying to avoid them.

As PiDeveloper has also stated, all SmartMedia should work. This isn't some cooky compact flash adapter, y'know?

I just want to make sure abotu thinks. Matthew hit it right on the spot, since some Compact Flash cards, don't work. It's good to know that all Smart Media works. I do have a question. Since Pi is now talking, when will Amazon ship out the memplug. I.E. Who should I buy it from?

Thank you all. thats it. I'm done.

Sorry, misunderstand your post. I must be wake up too early this morning

Amazon like to collect enough order before they really place a PO for Memplug.
I think PalmGear still be the right place to buy Memplug at this moment. As we have just shipped out some new designed Memplug to them. And we will send out more to clear their backorder in next week.

What the difference for new designed modules?

Should I buy new one?

TheOne has posted a newspaper picture of the new design in the thread:Memplug - New Design?

Most notable difference is that the card appeares to be flush and goes all the way in & the two little nubs are gone.

I kina like the card sticking out, it makes it look cool (Though I can see how it may interfere with some cases).
