Saving and Loading data using a SmartMedia Card on an S80

Data on the S80 can all be saved and loaded using a SmartMedia Card. The card must be 3V (3.3 Volts) and can be found with memory capacities of 2MB, 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, and 32MB. NOTE: If the SmartMedia Card is new, or if all data currently on it needs to be cleared, the card must first be formatted.

WARNING: Formatting the SmartMedia Card will erase any data currently contained on it.
