smartmedia cards on ebay-beware

There is a scam on ebay to sell smartmedia cards that do not work, then when you send it back you lose the $7.99 in shipping plus the $2.00 insurance that is required, that being a loss of $10 dollars, and alot of agravation of being taken. With that said does anyone know where one can get smartmedia cards at a resonable price??, like 59.99 for a 128 card is a little high, i must be high for buying them at that price.

Hi,

Typing Smart Media in Google should give you lots of choices. Here is a vendor I use at work all the time for memory upgrades: Kahlon. They have 128 Meg Smart Media for 29.00 with free shipping.

On second thought, if this is for your Fantom - a PCMCIA to Compact Flash adaptor plus a Compact Flash memory card might be a better value. The adapters are usually 10 dollars or so and a 1GB CF card is 77.00 at Kahlon...

Thank You DMANELY

That is a relief to know that, that other way with the adapter will work? is it really that easy, like, do you have to download an update for it to work? I am using a fantom s61

Someone else will have to chime in here about the Fantom S specs... I have an Xa. I don't know if you need a certain version of the O.S. or not.

Through more research on this site I found out that the Fanton x can use the pcmcia card, the fantom -s can use only smartmedia cards. Anyway that site you mentioned Kahlon.com is great info, 29 bucks for a 128meg is a deal compared to $59. Thanks
