Re: [newbie] SanDisk USB CF/SM readers work?
FWIW, I have a SOYO SU-CF card reader, USB, and it's working well since I added 'noapic' (whatever that means/does) to my append= line in lilo.conf. All I need to do is 'mount /mnt/removable/' and there are the pics. Glenn Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by Mandrake Linux v9.1 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Thanks, Todd I can't answer for that model, Todd. What I can say is that John and I have both been struggling to find one that works, without success. A number of people have Sandisk CF readers that work, and there is one model of Sandisk SM reader that I understand works, but I do not know anyone who has managed to get a dual standard reader working. Anne I somehow missed the original post, but I have the SanDisk CF/SM reader (SDDR-75) and got it to work under Mandrake. Under Mandrake 9.0, the darn thing would hang after a short while, but it seems better behaved under 9.1. There are some helpful ideas in the FAQ at http://www.linux-usb.org. The one that worked for me was echo /proc/scsi/scsi scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 1 I had to do this twice because the SanDisk has two devices in it. I think I put this in rc.local (not booted to Mandrake at the moment.) Anne, if you have this device and would like more details, let me know. As I said in my reply to Todd, this was the model I could not buy in the uk. I've forgotten which chipset is in the model I've got, but 9.0 recognised it for what it is. However, any attempt to access it caused a total freeze. I haven't tried it under 9.1 yet, as it's no longer urgent and I hate the risk. However, if you wouldn't mind posting a complete how-to I would try to apply it to my device. Thanks Anne Sorry for the delayed response. I don't have time to write a complete howto. However, the site I mentioned has the following QA: === Q: Why do I only see one device from my multipurpose storage device? A:Some distributions (notably Red Hat) turn off the kernel option CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN. This prevents usb-storage from automatically detecting all the devices in your removable storage device. You can either recompile your kernel with this option enabled or try; echo /proc/scsi/scsi scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 1 Where IIRC, the first zero is the host (so it is zero if this is your first SCSI adapter), the second the channel (which for usb-storage should always be zero I believe), the third is the target (which again is always 0 for usb-storage) and the last is the LUN. LUN 0 is the only one probed if this kernel option is off, so you'd need to repeat this command as root for every media type your device accepts. Following this advice, for my CF/SM reader I added the following two lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local: echo /proc/scsi/scsi scsi add-single-device 1 0 0 1 echo /proc/scsi/scsi scsi add-single-device 1 0 0 2 I believe that you adjust the number of lines based on the number of formats/slots your reader has. The 6-in-1 devices probably need 6 lines; if your device only supports a single card type, you probably only need one line. Somewhere else in either the User Guide of FAQs on the Linux-USB site discussed changing the SCSI max luns in modules.conf. I can't find the reference at the moment, but I haven't needed to do that for Mandrake 9.1. Note that to try this out, you don't need to update rc.local and reboot. You can just type the command at a terminal prompt and see what happens. You might have to look in /var/log/messages to see the messages. Here is what I see in that file. When the system first boots up (before running rc.local) I see this: scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Vendor: SanDisk Model: ImageMate CF-SM Rev: 0100 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI r Attached scsi removable disk sdd at scsi1, channel 0, id sdd : READ CAPACITY failed. sdd : status = 1, message = 00, host = 0, driver = 08 Current sd00:00: sense key Not Ready Additional sense indicates Medium not present sdd : block size assumed to be 512 bytes, disk size 1GB. Then when the above statements in rc.local ran, I see this: kernel: scsi singledevice 1 0 0 1 kernel: Vendor: SanDisk Model: ImageMate CF-SM Rev: 0 kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI S kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sde at scsi1, channel /etc/hotplug/scsi.agent: sd_mod allready loaded kernel: SCSI device sde: 16000 512-byte hdwr sectors (8 MB) (Sorry, some got cut off, can't find a decent editor that can do column blocks AND copy to the clipboard) Anyway, this is right because I have an 8 MB SmartMedia card in the reader. Good luck. Let us know if you choose to pursue.

If the device is USB 2, but your puter only handles USB 1.1, does that mean that the device will not work, or that it will work at the lower 1.1 speeds?
