Question:

How does a Jessops Smart Media Card Reader work?

I used to have a Jessops Universal Card Reader and with that I was able to upload my pictures from my Olympus FE-220 Digital Camera. I have now lost it, but found out about a Jessops Smart Media Card Reader. Please can anyone tell me how it works? Is it the same as a Universal Card Reader? With that, all I had to do was put in the memory card from my camera and then connect it to my computer with a USB wire. Is this how it works? Thank you in advance

Answer:

Sorry, but I'm not quite clear on your question as you seem to answer it yourself. If you have the card, then you need the reader. If you don't have a reader, you have to buy one. If you have to buy one, then look on the label and see if it is MAC OSX compatible - not greater than 10.4.11. As an fyi, these are mostly generic drives, I don't see a reason why any of these wouldn't work - even those that don't specifically say MAC OSX compatible.
It works along similar principles to your Jessops Universal Card Reader, dear lady, but it only reads SmartMedia cards. Unfortunately, your Olympus FE-220 Digital Camera doesn't use SmartMedia cards. It uses xD Picture cards a different type of memory storage card, which will NOT fit the Jessops SmartMedia Card Reader that you speak of, and would, therefore, be unsuitable.
