Found this bizarre memory card to floppy disk adapter at a yard sale. You slot in a SmartMedia card and some batteries, then stick the whole thing in a floppy drive!

#RetroTech #SmartMemory #FlashPath

Several items laid out on a flat surface. From top to bottom-right:
1. An instruction manual for "Dazzle OnDVD".
2. Install CD for Dazzle OnDVD.
3. Advertisement postcard for Dazzle flash memory products, featuring a 512MB Compact Flash card in the corner.
4. A thin piece of foam labeled "Remove to store PC Card. Keep for future use."
5. A black and purple protective case containing a Dazzle SmartMemory PC Card adapter, a 3.3 volt SmartMemory card, and two 5 volt SmartMemory cards.
5. A plastic case containing a shiny metal floppy disk, labeled "FujiFilm FlashPath Floppy Disk Adapter FD-A1 for SmartMedia."

Reverse side of the floppy disk adapter, showing two coin cell pattery compartments and a slot to insert a memory card. A warning label reads "Caution: see owner's manual for safety instructions. Battery: CR2016."

Such a great hardware refresh from the original Lynx.

This is my personal device from then. I bought games first to help force my young self to save enough to buy the console. Worked!

Sick news! If you haven't played around with ReactOS, definitely look into it. At the very least, it's a fun throwback to the Windows 9x era, but it has also come a very long way over the years!
