Using SmartMedia Adapters
Data recorded on a SmartMedia memory card using a Digital Voice Recorder DS-
2000/DS-3000 can be accessed by a computer by using the optional MA-2 digital
camera accessory PC card adapter, or the optional FlashPath MAFP-2N 3.5-inch floppy
disk drive adapter, or the optional MAUSB-2 SmartMedia memory card reader/writer.
When using any of these accessories to access SmartMedia memory cards with a
computer, make note of the following tips:
Note
We are not liable for any failures related to SmartMedia memory cards to which
data has been transferred or on which data has been edited using any equip-
ment or adapters other than those recommended by us.

Tips on Handling SmartMedia Cards on a Personal Computer
-Do not format SmartMedia memory cards on a personal computer. SmartMedia cards
that have been formatted on a personal computer cannot be read or written by a
Digital Voice Recorder DS-2000/DS-3000. Format SmartMedia memory cards using a
Digital Voice Recorder DS-2000/DS-3000 or a CAMEDIA Olympus digital camera.
-Folder names that have been set using a Digital Voice Recorder DS-2000/DS-3000 or
DSS Player for Mac are valid only on a Digital Voice Recorder DS-2000/DS-3000 or
DSS Player for Mac. If you move or rename folders or files on a SmartMedia memory
card, the files may be reordered or may become unrecognizable to a Digital Voice
Recorder DS-2000/DS-3000.
-If audio files that have been recorded on a Digital Voice Recorder DS-2000/DS-3000
using any software other than DSS Player for Mac ( see P.26) are copied or moved
to a SmartMedia memory card, recording times will be shortened on a Digital Voice
Recorder DS-2000/DS-3000.
-If you display folders on a SmartMedia memory card on an Apple Macintosh computer
(such as an iMac or Power Mac), the available recording capacity of the SmartMedia
memory card will be reduced as the computer will automatically create files irrelevant
to the operation of a Digital Voice Recorder DS-2000/DS-3000.
