For some reason I never got this original message. Oh well... We chose 
Compact
Flash for a number of reasons. For one it is more beer proof that 
Smartmedia.
It's memory capacity is also ever growing.  The largest card of 
CompactFlash
type II is now at 300 MB. Smart media has toped out at 64 MB. check out
http://www.sandisk.com/support/main_technical_support.html. SanDisk is 
putting
more investment in this format making new versions that are faster and 
larger.
Plus we have a few secret reasons :p. Kim, you should be able to get all 
the
specs you need on CompactFlash VS SmartMedia on the Sandisk site
http://www.sandisk.com .
