Olympus cameras use xD memory cards. If this one uses memory cards (and I'm SURE it does) then it is simpler to just remove the card when you are ready to transfer pictures, and insert the card into a card reader. You may already have one, if not, you can get one for about $15.00. I have an Olympus and have all the cables and software but never use it. Olympus software isn't the best and the cables just get in the way. Cards and a reader are the way to go. Remember, you must use xD cards in Olympus and Fuji cameras. Avoid Kodak brand cards, they don't work in my Olympus.Olympus should have more info on thier website.
I did some checking and that model Olympus uses an archaic card called a "smartmedia" card. I'm sure you could find a card reader that would read it, but the prices for a 128k card run close to $60.00!!! I would skip it and get a nice little Kodak or Canon if you want an inexpensive camera. Kodaks are very easy to use, Canons, more features. Both, plus many others make nice prints. Just buy name-brand, OK?
