Chelton SmartMedia Card and setting system limits

Hi John,

You can find them on Ebay for about $15 each.  But first you should try to make sure the contacts on the Chelton are okay…I used two business cards cut to the same size with the notch like the card…the put some 400 grit sandpaper over the cards …slid them in the slot to “clean” the contacts….the card took off.  A previous Chelton repair guy told me about this trick.  Also, if you buy a USB reader you can check if your card works.

Gents:

I seem unable to access the "Enter System Limits" option on my Chelton system. I wonder if my SmartMedia Card, picture attached, got fried somewhere along the way.

I have tried to purchase a new one at local electronics stores but they don't carry this card (too old).

Does any one have a source for these cards?

My understanding is that you put the card in CPU #1 prior to power-up, and that should take you into the menu to see/modify system limits and parameters.

That's not happening.  Am I doing something wrong?  Or is my card kaput and I just need a new one??

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
