Newer Olympus cameras (like the 5050) have SM and xD slots, NO CF. Though
isn't SM limited to 128M due to thickness?  Or wouldn't we have seen a 256M
SM by now?

No, John, the size had nothing to do with it. They just quit developing the larger sizes. I think it was due to a lack of interest in the card. There are some Oly digitals that have CF slots too. Not sure which ones. I have the C2100 UZ. Love that 10X image stabilized camera. I seem to remember that some people took cards into shops and formated them in certain Fuji cameras, but don't remember which ones. Sufffering from CRS. I am not sure, but believe that some of the older card readers were able to format the cards so that the Olys would then format them again. Under the later MS operating systems that function is gone. As I said, most of that should be in the Oly2100 mail list archives on Yahoo groups.
