PCMCIA Cards“Standard,” removable, credit-card sized PCMCIA cards (Personal Com-
puter Memory Card International Association) are used for image storage.
The camera incorporates a PCMCIA-ATA Type III slot.
The camera saves images to the PCMCIA card currently plugged into the
KODAK camera back. You can fill one card, remove it, insert another
card, and continue shooting.
These removable, miniaturized media provide great flexibility since you
can carry a significant amount of image storage capability with you into
the field or the studio. The camera functions as a card reader, so no
separate PCMCIA card reader is required. However, if you have a com-
mercially available PCMCIA card reader for your computer system, you
can return only the card to a central site for image retrieval while the
camera remains in the field.
PCMCIA cards are extremely fragile, and are easily damaged — especially
if dropped. For this reason, use extreme care with the cards. Dropping a
card may destroy it, resulting in the loss of all of your data on the card.
Supported PCMCIA Cards
The camera is designed to accept PCMCIA hard disk cards that support
the PCMCIA “ATA” interface, although all such cards may not work.
(Refer to the read-me file on the supplied software driver diskette for
information on specific cards known to work with the camera.) The ATA
protocol is the same interface used for AT disk drives in PCs. PCMCIA
hard disk cards are available in a variety of sizes, for example 105, 170,
260, and 340 megabyte (MB) sizes.
In addition to PCMCIA hard disk cards, the camera will accept flash
memory cards if the cards support the ATA protocol. (This means that
standard PCMCIA memory SRAM cards are not supported.)
