Well, as the case may be that reader is currently plugged into a 9.0 box (which I'm hoping to upgrade this week).
I didn't do anything particularly fancy to hook it up. Created an entry in /etc/fstab:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/cf vfat rw,user,noauto 0 0
Yep , this is automount I use automount.Mine looks like this, /dev/sda1 /mnt/reader vfat iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 Not sure where I got it from.
And a /mnt/cf directory. On the KDE desktop I created a new floppy device and pointed it at device /dev/sda1 (no supermount), called it 'ImageMate' and treat the cards like floppy disks.
I did the same only I took the creat cdrom device route for my desktop icon.
I don't think it involved anymore than that, but I do see I've also got:I didn't think this had to do with the reader. I don't know though.
scsi_hostadapter
in /etc/modules and:
probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
in /etc/modules/conf. I think those two entries may have been part of the deal.
The card reader is a Sandisk USB Imagemate 6 in 1 card reader. I've never actually tried reading anything other than CompactFlash. I think the other card slots show up as other /dev/sd? devices. I only wish it came as an internal floppy bay mount instead of an external plug in. Never had any problems reading/writing flash cards. Just the same stupid kernel warnings when ever there's no card in it:
My 6 in 1 reader is PQI Travel Flash multifunction Flash Drive Wasn't very expensive either. I like it. Though smart cards are on their way out in UK, It's something called XD, I think, used in newer Cameras Still, it means anyone who comes around can have their snaps done up on my computer regardless of the make of camera. No faffing around trying to make cameras recognised just for a few hours.
