Ancient Olympus Camera Memory Card Reader

[scottmk1]

I've found an old Olympus M-8P D3V10 memory card and would like to see whats on it. I have a feeling it's probably some old work stuff. Is there a reader I can buy for such a card? The card is 45x37x1mm so much bigger than an SD card.

It’s not an XD card, the one I have is quite a bit bigger

My search suggests it's a SmartMedia card.

(ETA - as it says on it, now I've seen your photo).

So, how about this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Onefavor-S...smart+media+card+reader&qid=1674756703&sr=8-3

This one mentions SmartMedia and is a bit cheaper than my other link: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/39416136...cnMEfmpBcGHQ1KtPDkj4nEcUOa|tkp:Bk9SR_bL0fS9YQ

If you've only got the one card, I have a feeling I've got a card reader that would do it, if you wanted to send it over. Assuming there's nothing on it that will get either of us into trouble, of course.

Thanks for the offer, nothing dodgy on there I hope! But I do have some other cards to read, but found readers for those ones

 

[scottmk1]

I think this one may do it?

Interesting, is it free?

 

[Anguz]

I've used that when Mrs Robo accidentally wiped her camera card, near enough 100% recovery

recuva is great, done it on loads of old hard drives

so many companies fail at basic consumer protection

 

[scottmk1]

I got the card reader today and it worked fine, even used Recuva and got some files back. Is it worth paying to upgrade or will that not actually recover any more files?

Was there anything incriminating on it

Thankfully not, I was hoping to find pictures when I worked on big ships.

There was photos of us changing cylinder liners on big marine 2 strokes, from memory the liner las around 10 tons. It was a 12 cylinder engine, 0.96m bore and 2.5m stroke
