Hagiwara Sys-Com, Japanese manufacturer, has today announced a Compact Flash Type II SmartMedia adapter, this adapter allows you to read / write SmartMedia cards in a Compact Flash Type II slot. This could be useful for those who have high speed CF card readers. It could also be used to bring SmartMedia storage to PDA type devices, it's worth noting that the SmartMedia card will protrude from the CF adapter so it couldn't be used in devices with closing CF compartment doors.
