I have got the Fujifilm SM-R1 SmartMedia reader "working" sometimes. If you
check the archives you will see some of the problems.
I have not had time to find out what the problem is but I can get it to
work fine using some versions of the kernel:
2.3.49 - works on 2nd plug-in
2.3.50 - works on 2nd plug-in(?)
2.3.51 - works all the time(?)
2.3.99-pre1 - never works
2.3.99-pre3 - never works
I have a theory that it only responds to TEST_UNIT_READY/REQUEST_SENSE
and so long as these occur and clear off all "errors" then the INQUIRY
issued by the SCSI layer works. If not then it fails and the SCSI layer
goes into reset-bus mode and makes the problem start over again.
To use it I do:
modprobe usbcore
modprobe usb-uhci
modprobe usb-storage
# plug-in reader and check logs for new scsi lines. If it works then
# I get a new sda appearing (if you already have SCSI devs then it will
# use next free SCSI disk name). SmartMedia should be already in reader.
modprobe msdos
mkdir /mnt/smr1
mount -t msdos /dev/sda /mnt/smr1
