As usual, Dvorak is at least partially shit-filled:
"The first camera is the fascinating Agfa 1680. It still works, but so
far I have been unable to find any way to read its SmartMedia cards,
since the camera uses a strange file format. And I have long since lost
the cables that would let me transfer the photos directly from the
camera."
I own one of these. Now, unfortunately, not working. Transfer from
SmartMedia to the PC was a snap with a standard card reader--faster than
the lousy serial cable and not requiring batteries in the camera.

Be warned that he puts his boot into Oly in this one.
