You remind me of a very strange thing, Paul.
I own one of the D-1000 machines and it uses flashcards indeed. But
why? Why does Olympus not use the same smartmedia in the recorder
which is also used in the digital cameras? They are smaller and they
have more memory on board (although that can change with time...)
But standardization would certainly have been nice here.
