QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Q How long do the batteries run?

A About 3 hours of continuous operation is possible. This figure is simply a reference value and can vary considerably depending on the ratio of read/write operations, operating environmental temperature, etc. To save battery power, we recommend that you eject the adapter from the FDD after use. The shown operation time figure given in this manual represents the standard value obtained under test conditions when using batteries

specified by Olympus.

Q Can the adapter be used with Windows 3.1?

A Yes. However, it is not compatible with the Windows 3.1 3- mode FDD driver. Always uninstall the 3-mode FDD driver

before using this adapter.

For more information about the 3-mode FDD driver, refer to your computer’s user guide. (Additional details can also be found in the README.TXT file on the Device Driver Setup Disk.)

Q Why does the adapter become inaccessible after a certain period?

A Because it incorporates a shutdown mode to extend battery life.

This mode is activated if the Floppydisk Adapter has not been accessed for 5 minutes.

To exit the shutdown mode and to reactivate, eject the Floppydisk Adapter from the FDD and re-insert it.

Q Is write protect available?

A No, the Floppydisk Adapter does not recognize the write protect condition even when a write protect sticker is attached to the SmartMedia,. Be very careful not to erase or overwrite

recorded data by mistake.
