Re: [Sheflug] Flash Readers

[Mark Wrangham <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I use a Safeway Compact Flash reader  that I bought from an ebay seller in 
Sheffield.  Their ebay store is called OAP Computers.  Any compact flash 
reader that implements the USB Mass storage protocol will work.  A good 
test for this is to plug it into a Win 2k machine - if it recognizes it 
without needling to install any drivers then there's a good chance that 
you'll be able to use it with Linux.  You need Kernel version 2.4.18 which 
is included with Redhat 7.3 but not 7.2.

I haven't had any experience with any of the Sandisk readers, however I 
asked a similar question to you before I bought my CF reader in April/May 
so check the list archives - I got plenty of replies.

Hope this helps

Mark
