I recently picked up a used ES8 and was wondering if I need a Smart Media Card to perform updates or if I can use a USB stick. |

I would go with the USB Thumb Drive. I’m sure that you can get Smart Media cards in the ‘Shop’ here, but in reality, they just don’t hold enought data.
Have you checked the Operating System to see if it needs Updating?
With the Motif OFF…
Looking at my notes, and it’s been a while since I did the ‘Update’, you ‘may’ need to use a ‘Small’ Smart Media Card. They ‘should’ still be available in the ‘Shop’ of the site.

OS updates for the ES must be done by Smart Media card. Check and see if you have the latest OS first, there’s not going to be any more updates coming. For anything other than OS updates, you’re better off using a USB thumb drive. |
