I am sorry, I just read my reply as it sits right under Georges, and realized everything I asked he had already stated... I really fool foolish.

I guess the only thing I do not understand is: What advantages does the floppy offer over smartmedia?
Smartmedia is more expensive (cards vs. cheaper disks)So floppy has advantage there.
But, the smartmedia has much larger storage capacity than floppy, correct?

Can the data from either be accessed equally?
or can the data from one or the other be directly read from it's format versus possibly having to be loaded from it's format to the keyboard first, before it would be usable?
Am I making any sense or should I go back to bed for a while? lol
Thank you.
