SMC stands for "Smart Media Card", which contains the programs and other data for your GP32. The SMC Reader can allow a computer to read that information off your GP32. It should be compatible with all known languages.

Edit: Oh, I see what you're asking. That's called the "Drive Letter", not a "Dictionary". And it depends on what you currently on your computer and how Windows is configured. For instance, I have this setup:

C: - Windows HDD
D: - DVD/CDRW

So when a new drive is added, it will start at E: and go down the alphabet from there. If you have a SMC Card Reader which ONLY reads SMC cards, it will show up as E: . However, if you have something like a 6-in-1, 7-in-1, etc., it may show up as G:, H:, I:, etc. You're left with "trial and error", accessing each drive, until you find the right one.

oh, DIRECTORY...
heh heh, i dont have to deal with directories, im on a mac

Thegingerbreaddude seems to be asking which drive the SMC reader comes up as.

The answer to that totally depends on your computer's configuration - what other drives do you have in there? For example, you could have

C: Hard drive
D: Hard drive
E: CD Writer
F: DVD Reader
G: SMC Reader

If you have other removable drives, then the drive letter for the SMC reader might change each time you plug it in.

Personally, I run Linux and my card reader's at /mnt/smc

Yep, look in the beta testing section on the forums of this site for gpdrive.
