FlashPath is an electronic device shaped like a 3.5-inch floppy diskette; it fits into and works from a 3.5-inch 1.44 MB floppy disk drive. FlashPath has a slot in the side that accepts SmartMedia memory cards. Simply remove the SmartMedia card from your camera and insert it into FlashPath. Then insert FlashPath into your PC's floppy disk drive and upload the contents to the PC. Convenient for when you don't have a memory card reader on-hand.
