What type of Smartmedia cards does the MC505 use, and where can I get them?
The MC505 uses 5 volt cards only, and in the 2 meg or 4 meg size. Other sizes will not work correctly with the MC505, and should not be used except at the owner’s risk. Data may become lost, or unreliable if the wrong card is used. It should be noted that cards do not have to be Roland brand to function properly, and that buying non-Roland cards can save the user up to $60 per 4 meg card. Smartmedia cards are also used in digital cameras, so camera shops may carry them.
