SanDisk's ImageMate Supports Windows NT 4.0; The SanDisk ImageMate Is a Low-Cost, Easy-To-Use External CompactFlash Drive for PCs -- Includes Safe Media Swap for NT 4.0 Business Wire - September 08, 1998 11:18 SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 8, 1998--SanDisk Corp. (NASDAQ:SNDK) today introduced the Windows NT 4.0 device driver for its ImageMate CompactFlash reader/writer to work with desktop PCs running the Windows NT 4.0 operating system. The popular ImageMate allows digital camera owners to quickly and easily transfer images from a CompactFlash digital film card to a PC. The new ImageMate device driver supporting Windows NT 4.0 allows hot-swapping of cards and will be included with the purchase of every new ImageMate. Consumers who have already purchased the ImageMate can download the new device driver from sandisk.com. Since its introduction last February, SanDisk's ImageMate has gained enormous popularity with digital camera users. Winner of the Innovative Digital Product Award given by the Digital Imaging Marketing Association, the ImageMate has proven to be the ultimate digital camera accessory at a low retail price of $79. Nelson Chan, vice president of marketing, said, "We are pleased to respond to the numerous requests for a Windows NT 4.0 version of our popular ImageMate which brings great flexibility and efficiency to the digital darkroom. With 52 digital cameras using CompactFlash digital film, the ImageMate enables easy, quick and reliable transferring of images taken with those digital cameras using CF." The ImageMate, an external mouse-like device that attaches to the PC parallel port with printer pass-through attachment, allows consumers to transfer images from a digital camera's CF card up to 20 times faster than by employing the serial port (on the camera) connection method frequently used today. No AC adapters are needed since the ImageMate receives current from an adapter shared with the PC keyboard. A 10MB CF card can be downloaded in less than a minute. Once images are transferred to the PC, the end user can continue to use the CF card to capture images. The ImageMate also provides a quick and easy way to move data and audio captured on a CF card from handheld computers, digital voice recorders and PCs.
