I'm using a Sandisk ImageMate II (Ref. SDDR 31) to read my CF cards via the USB Bus. http://www.esend.com/sandisk/product_images/SDDR-31_l.jpg http://www.esend.com/sandisk/extendedInfo%2Easp?sku=SDDR-31 It works but not on any hardware. It never worked correctly on my main PC with a VIA chipset (VIA 686B southbridge) and I've done a lot of tests with various kernels and compilation options. It is recognised but always hangs the USB bus when reading data from it. It is not clear if the problem come from usb-storage or from the VIA USB controler support in usb-uhci or uhci... I've posted some questions in linux-usb-users ML but never had any response. It works perfectly on an older PC with a Intel 440 LX chipset. It is directly recognized during installation of recent Linux distributions (RH 7.2) and is as easy to use as a Zip drive. I can read data from my CF cards at a speed between 700 and 800 KBytes/s (less than 3 minutes to retrieve the content of a full 128 MB CF Card). -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Le Web de l'histoire de l'informatique de -3000 � 1986 : http://histoire.info.online.fr/ _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
