Tech Talk
HDMI -- HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB connection from the source to the screen. By eliminating conversion to an analog signal, it delivers an unblemished image. The non-degraded signal reduces flicker and leads to a clearer picture. HDMI intelligently communicates the highest output resolution with the source device. The HDMI input is fully backward compatible with DVI sources but includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy protection.

No problems, no complaints. I wouldn't think of not buying it when I bought my digital camera that uses Smart Media. What's cool is that I can also use it for transferring large files of any kind (not only images) from one computer to another via the floppy drive. 128 megs large. For all I know there could be a 256 Mb Smart Card now. It's nothing to install the driver then BOOM your in business. It doesn't have the fastest transfer rate of all devices, but it is definately faster than a parallel port.

good for what it is..........2002-01-25

and what this is, is a way to read smart media on a computer using Windows NT where a usb smart media reader can't be used.
the Flashpath works well, although it's slow given the limitation of the floppy drive read speed, and it's pretty stable. it self powers off if you don't use it for i think 10 mins to help conserve it's battery (to reactivate, you just need to eject the flashpath disk and re-insert it). if you can use the usb readers, it'd be much quicker transferring files but if usb isn't an option, the Flashpath is a good alternate.

I purchased the Viking Flash Path floppy disc adapter to use on my USB-portless computer I purchased back in 1995. It would have cost over $200 to upgrade my computer to accept the USB port. Instead, the ... Flash Path adapter is doing the job! It is very easy to install the driver. ... Also, if you have problems/questions, this web-site has a link for technical support. I had to do this, as initially, I could not get jpeg images to transfer and read through my computer. Although it took about 10 days for a response, the Viking people stuck with me (I got three e-mails from them in 24 hours) until I came up with a solution. All of those out there who want to hang onto that old clunker computer, be patient, because this baby works. Also, be aware that some images will not transfer properly to some of the old software applications, such as Quick Time for Windows Picture Reader and Photo Works Plus Version 1.02. This does not reflect a problem with the Flash Path adapter. I eventually got everything to run perfectly with Microsoft Picture It! Express 2.0, a free bit of software that came with my old HP 690. The bottom line is this: when I purchased my digital camera and learned USB ports were key, it was either upgrading my old computer (software and hardware would have run over $250), buying a new computer (around $500 to $750) or the ... Viking adapter. I can say that after about ten days waiting for solutions from Viking's technical support, this was the best and most economical route to take. If patience is a virtue, then my wallet is about $200 to $700 more virtuous right now.

Convenient. Saves USB hassle........2001-12-27

This makes transferring digital pictures from cameras that use smart media cards to the computer simple and easy.

The smart media card is inserted into the adapter, and the adapter then goes in the floppy drive and is read by the computer as any other 3.5 disk. The software installation is easy. It comes with software for most operating systems, but as of mid december the software for installation on windows xp had to be downloaded from their web site. The time to transfer files from the floppy to the hard drive is slower than USB, but the process doesn't need your attention so you can select the files you want to transfer and walk away while the process goes on.

The cost, of course, is added to the cost of the digital camera which usually comes with the USB cable included, so you do pay for the convenience of being able to download the pictures into any computer that has a floppy drive but may not have a free USB port, or of just avoiding the hassle of connecting and disconnecting the USB cable and of running down the camera batteries to transfer the files.

As noted by others, it does not come with a manual, but that is also downloadable from the website.

If you care to spend the money and can put up with a slower file transfer time, this is a great product for those who don't have USB capability, or to avoid any hassles or inconvenience that comes with the USB connection.
