Well thanks for telling me *now*... :) Oh well. Those look pretty sharp, but the sandisk one works fine for me. I guess I'll stick with it. > Scott Moser writes: > > search the archives. of this list. > > the sandisk readers work well. they cost $20 for the combo smart > > media / flash reader.

That's good news. The older smartmedia-only Sandisk (and Zio, > which uses the same chip and the sddr09 driver) work well on linux in > read-only mode, but writing in 2.4 requires a kernel patch (2.5 has > the patch already). I've got 2.4.19-pre8 (i posted earlier with an incorrect version number). It works fine in read and write. I hadn't tried the write until just now. the 09 and the 55 or something are both mentioned on sandisk's site as not being usb storage compliant (at least I thought I saw that). I figured I'd give this a shot and just take it back if it didn't work. I have a feeling that most devices will work with usb-storage at this point.
