Grrooaann - it's S304, and yes it is xD memory. I've been seeking a smartmedia reader that works with linux, and the only models I have found recommended are a PNY and a Sandisk. I can't find anyone here (UK) selling the PNY, and no-one in the US seems to want to ship it here. I spoke direct to Sandisk Europe to find about that particular model that a list-member had used successfully. He said it was available and he would put the Euro Sales Manager on to me - he said they didn't have a model by that name. I guess I'll just have to try their own reader. At least, if that doesn't work with linux yet (on the dX card) I may have the chance to use it with my old camera and the smartmedia cards. Meanwhile, I suppose a weekly google is the best chance of hearing if there's any progress under linux? Anne
