Any recommendations for a good/fast 128 card for the other slot?

I'm going to get one, for extra storage...and thought I would ask our fantastic group of shooters.

I wasn't aware that there was any speed differences on Smartmedia. Thought they only came in one speed. Slow. :rofl:

I don't think any one smartmedia will make much difference with that old technology. I'd just buy a cheap one.

I'm using (rarely :) ) the Kingston card, works OK.

I am just looking to put some extra JPGs on it, and since I am poor, I can't buy another 1gig card. I didn't know if there was a difference or not. I've looked on some sites, but found nothing I could use. I'll just get a cheap one.

Thanks for the help.

Ummmmm, it may be small and outdated but in the S2 it is extreamly fast. In my tests it takes about 27.5 seconds to dump a full buffer (*8) of 12mp JPEG fine shots to an IBM Microdrive and just slightly longer to a Sandisk Ultra II. With the Smartmedia it only takes about 12.0 seconds. :)
