Memory Card Out Of Date?
If you have an older digital camera, you may use an out-of-date digital memory card. Here's a round-up of older digital cards:
Microdrive: These are small hard drives built by Hitachi. The cards fit into compact flash templates and were made with a capacity of up to 1 GB. These have largely been replaced by faster high capacity compact flash cards.
Smartmedia: These tiny cards are pretty much dead, replaced by the faster, high-capacity SD cards. Do not try to buy a new Smartmedia card for your pre-2001 camera without checking to see first if it is compatible.
