Hello and welcome!
Calibre can convert txt files to rb. What I don't remember is if the actual file that is written to the reader is an rb or if it's an imp file.

If it's an imp file, you will probably need a copy of Ebookwise librarian which can be found here,

This wiki has a lot of listings if you can't get Librarian installed, I have not tried to install it on Windows 11 so I don't know if it will even run. I last installed it on Windows 10 32 bit and it ran fine.

You will also need a card reader for the smartmedia cards, they can be tricky to find but it sounds like you may have one. I'm pretty sure Calibre will write the imp file to the card using the save to disc function and I also think that Librarian can write to a card. I doubt you will be able to get USB transfer working, I was unable to the last time I tried.
