xD Memory Card to Smartmedia Card Reader Writer Adapter

Since I have a surplus of xD cards, and recently purchased a Digitech GNX3 guitar workstation which uses smart media, it made sense to try this product. I first plugged it into a Lexar external card reader from around 2008-2009, and this adapter allowed for read/write up to 512MB.My GNX3 said it would read up to 128MB, and indeed, it displayed memory error on anything larger. I believe most devices of the smart media era will be the limiting factor in the link.The plastic at the thick end of the card, where the xD card plugs in, can come apart in 2 halves with little effort (but did not fall apart). The electronics remain intact. This is the only reason I did not give the product a 5 rating.I doubt Gorilla or electrical tape would be out of line to ensure the device stays together, if a person is that worried about it. Just look at the cost and limited memory of smart cards.

Works great! use only as a XD to SmartMedia card reader. Will not work in a camera that takes SmartMedia cards (card door will not close and no photos/videos can be taken on the camera).

I thought this was memory card & adapter. Can't give review as I haven't used yet.The delivery was very fast

First, the vendor ([...]) gave very prompt service with good packaging and prompt delivery.I recently "inherited" an Olympus DP12 microscope camera which refused to function without a Smartmedia[sic!!!!] card. Since I had a 256 MB xD card on hand, why not get this adaptor?1. The "adaptor" portion sticks out. Yes, although the device fits in the Smartmedia Card slot in the DP12, its "butt" sticks out so the door of the card compartment won't close. So I had to "shim" the door-actuated switch with a wooden applicator stick.2. The card is rejected by the DP12, I'm guessing, because the xD has 256 MB.I gave up and bought a 128 MB Smartmedia Card on e**y, which works with the DP12!

This did not work at all. I was not happy with this purchase. It was a waste of money.

I bought this adapter card to work around a problem with my old Yamaha keyboard and it's outdated Smartmedia card slot. The card works like a champ, however; I am still faced with the need for a 3.5v card of not more than 128k (easier to find "hens teeth" now days). I would highly recommend this adapter card to anyone, just be sure that the xD Memory Card that it gets you to will really "work" with your system.

I really wanted this to work with my Roland Fantom keyboard but it never registered the XD card that I had plugged into the adapter. I guess I'll chalk this one up as a loss.

1st, The service was speedy and acurate no problems plus the prices are good.2nd, The smartmedia card adapter worked but not for the Casio Keyboard which was what I needed it for. I agree with other reviewers that it's because of the size of the XD card you use.
