Subject: What USB SmartMedia Card Reader/Writers do you guys use to update your Cheltons?
Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v1078)

Having finally secured some old fashion 64mb SmartMedia Cards to update =
the navigation and obstacle databases in my two Cheltons, I discovered =
that the recommended SmartMedia card reader, the Olympus MAUSB-10 =
drivers are not compatible with modern/current operating systems.  The =
drivers work for Windows 98/ME/2000/and XP but not Windows 7.  There is =
also no support for the Mac OSX, in spite of what it says on the =
Olympusamerica.com/support web site (I just got off the phone with their =
tech support).

I managed to actually update my systems by pulling out an old Dell =
laptop that I had been using for a paperweight in the garage.  It was =
running Windows XP.  On the third try, it finally downloaded the =
MAUSB-10 drivers and I was able to copy the nav and obs database updates =
and update my Cheltons.  So I'm OK, as long as my old Dell with XP =
doesn't blow up.

How do you guys update your SmartMedia cards using computers with modern =
/ current operating systems???

Many thanks in advance for your assistance.
