Don't do that.  SmartMedia media are way more expensive than CompactFlash
media and the floppy adapter is unlikely to work well, if at all.

Just get a camera that uses CompactFlash media, buy name-brand CompactFlash
media (some off-brands are totally broken) and use a PCMCIA or, better, an
IDE card caddy (we use the Adtron (note only one 'd') brand IDE caddy, which
plugs directly into the IDE port on your motherboard) to read them.
