Old camera, older tech

Tempest1000 · Mar 21, 2008

Okay, I just got a free, older camera. An Olympus Camedia C-830L that requires a floppy disk to download. Okay, got a floppy drive to use it. My computer runs XP, no big. Problem, I got just the camera, no cords, no disk, nadda. I have a cord or two that might work and my Mother's power cord for her laptop works for it, so I'll see if mine works. Can anyone please help me find out what I might need? I searched online, but couldn't find anything. Or if someone has one of these camera's, that'd be helpful too, thank you.

I'll post what I can find.

It iscompatible with 16 MB SmartMedia cards. It comes with a 8 MB card that includes a Panorama Composite function. The 8 MB card can hold at least 122 shots in the SQ Mode, 36 in the HQ Mode, 18 in the SHQ Mode and 2 in the Noncompression SHQ Mode.
Easy PC Downloading
Now there is no need to use a cable to download image files to a PC. With the MAFP-1N floppy disk adapter, it is as easy as inserting the camera's 3.3 V SmartMedia card and putting the adapter in the drive, just as if it were a 3.5-inch floppy disk. The MA-2 PC card adapter is also available for transferring data to a notebook computer through its PC card slot.
