FlashPath

FlashPath (FlashPath Floppy Disk Adapter) were a series of devices produced by the company SmartDisk, which allowed a variety of memory cards to be used in a 3.5" Floppy disk drive.

The initial version introduced in May 1998 allowed SmartMedia cards to be used with a floppy drive.

A special software device driver must be installed on the computer that is to access data via FlashPath.

Thus, FlashPath is only usable with computers and operating systems for which such a driver exists and can be installed.
