Olympus C-420L
Manufacturer's Recommended Sale Price JPY64,800
Olympus entry-level model. Uses both SmartMedia flash cards and an RS232C
port to communicate with PCs. The PC kit requires the PC to have 80486
CPU minimum, Windows95 or Windows NT, 16Mb/24Mb of RAM. The software in
the PC Kit includes Kai's PhotoSoap and is in Japanese but works on English
Windows - you just have to guess how it works. The usual Windows shortcut
keys work - e.g. Alt-F A gives you Save As...
For pure convenience the Fujifilm FDA-1 - (flashcard
adaptor) allows the flashcard to be read as if it were a floppy disk
and use your own software to manipulate the JPG file produced. This is
the way I do it.
