Kingston Technology Releases Memory Supporting Fuji DS-7 Digital Camera

Fountain Valley, CA (March 24, 1997)

Kingston Technology, the worldwide leader in memory products, today announced the immediate availability of a Solid State Floppy Disk Card (SSFDC) adapter and 2MB SSFDC storage card to support the Fuji DS-7 Digital Camera. SSFDC technology is new and uses floppy disk cards the size of postage stamps to store digital information. This new technology is emerging in digital cameras, cellular phones, pagers, hand-held video games and portable computers, printers and scanners.

The Fuji DS-7 digital camera uses a serial cable connection to interface the camera with a computer. Kingston designed the SSFDC adapter to enable users to transfer images directly from the 2MB floppy disk card to any system equipped with a PC Card Type II slot without the necessity of serial cables. The Kingston SSFDC adapter works the same as a standard floppy disk drive. Solid state floppy disk cards can be inserted and removed from the SSFDC adapter while the system is running. Installation is quick and easy. The Kingston SSFDC adapter is plug and play for both Windows 95' and Windows NT' operating systems.

"In the growing field of digital photography, users work with higher resolution digital images and often need to download files to their systems for editing and enhancement. To that end, new SSFDC technology is playing an increasingly essential role to the digital camera. The popular Fuji DS-7 digital camera in particular, uses state of the art technology and we wanted to further enhance its capabilities," said Gary MacDonald, Kingston's vice president of marketing.

"As new digital cameras are produced, Kingston will continue to apply the latest technology to enable optimum performance." added MacDonald.

The Kingston SSFDC adapter, part #: (SSFDC/ADP), has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $115.00; and the 2MB SSFDC storage card, part #: (SSFDC/2), is $35.00.

The new Kingston solid state floppy disk card adapter and additional 2MB is fully compatible with Fuji hardware, software and diagnostics designed for the DS-7 digital camera. All of Kingston's memory products are backed by a lifetime warranty and free technical support.

Kingston has solid state floppy disk cards to support the Fuji DS-7 as well as the Apple QuickTake 200 digital cameras. In addition to the Fuji DS-7 and Apple QuickTake 200, Kingston provides ATA flash memory for the Kodak DC50 using the DataFlash ATA Flash Card with capacities of 2MB up to 20MB.
