Well, that explains it. Hey Anne, if you want I think I can get one at the local Best Buy. A PNY like I have is around $32 US And I can ship to you no problem. Course with the Christmas season shipping might be slow. Or you could order direct from Best Buy, I think. Not sure what their shipping policy is for overseas. HTH Dennis M.

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?
