Re: [newbie] Generic USB Storage Device
Thanks for the help. I have reformatted the SM card as fat32 but it still doesn't work. I believe the problem is in how the Mandrake kernel handles multiple media readers (to make matters worse, mine is also a writer). Since Linux USB support is still patchy I am now convinced I will have to wait for a later kernel to solve my problems. I will continue playing though and if I turn up anything I will let you know. Thanks again for all your efforts.

Too many of us have struggled with this one without success, both with readers and with cameras. Improved usb support was a selling point with 9.0 distro, but I feel it still has a way to go.

The other is just cdrecord -scanbus in a terminal I thought at first that the reader has to have something by way of media in it for detection to be successfull but that is not the case. Also, you can reposition the place the reader comes on the bus address by moving the USB socket you plug into, around , there is some sort of pecking order, but then I have 6 usb ports , maybe for others that is not the case. Also I am guessing here but I think it is a sure fire bet the other read meadia this multi-readers device is , will get strung along the same 1,0,0 bus address in the pecking order. This readers is said to be capable of 7 media type read capacity. . Certainly it has a number of different shaped ports to shove media in.
