Manual

(like SmartMedia Flash Cards) on PCs is that you CAN NOT just eject a
SmartMedia Flash Card. You must first tell the PC to ‘turn off’ or ‘stop’ the
SmartMedia Flash Card. Once the PC says it is OK, then you can eject your
SmartMedia Flash Card. If you do not, you will find that the end of your file
was never written. If you are on a Macintosh, just eject the SmartMedia
Flash Card as you would any other media.
One precaution you will have to take when programming SmartMedia
Flash Cards on a PC is DO NOT REFORMAT them. The formatter on a PC will
format the Flash Card with in a way which does not comply with the
SmartMedia standards (it ignores the physical layout of the SmartMedia
Flash Card sectors). If you have a Flash Card that has been formatted on a
PC, the BR-SmartMedia WILL NOT be able to recognize it. To properly refor-
mat a SmartMedia Flash Card, you will need to use the ‘format’ command
available on the BR-SmartMedia’s ‘DMX-512 Recorder’ menu. This will format
a SmartMedia Flash Card back to the factory standards.
