Unfortunately there is no simple answer. PNY makes a number of USB CF card readers. Some are supported, some aren't. Take a look at the USB device id when you load the usb modules. Experience has shown most PNY modles to be based on Datafab chips (07c4:XXXX). In this case the XXXX is crucial. If XXXX = a000 or a006 you're probably in good shape. If it's a005 it's 50-50 (I've received mixed responses from users with this chip revision). Finally, lately a new "b000" chip version has turned up. This guy looks to be entirely different. It appears to present a true SCSI-over-USB interface and as such, the usb-storage module doesn't even bother trying to use the Datafab driver. Unfortunately there appears to be some incompatibilities between this chip and the transparent SCSI protocol implemented in usb-storage so things break. Wish I had a straightforward answer for you. -- Jimmie Mayfield http://www.sackheads.org/mayfield email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] My mail provider does not welcome UCE -- http://www.sackheads.org/uce _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
