I have an older Lexar Media card reader that I use to read my compact flash cards. I recently switched from XP to SuSE 9 running KDE 3.1.4. How do I gain access to my card reader under Linux?

easiest way is to have a card in the drive when you plug it in... other than that it's mount and umount, BUT, you will not be able to mount the reader if/when it is cardless, there is nothing to mount...

I understand, but what device do I mount? I tried plugging the card reader in with a card in it, but nothing appeared to happen for about a minute while I waited. Did I not wait long enough? What should I be looking for to change when it's working right? It galled me, but I had to go to Windows to get the job done. :-( -- Bill Lugg Milstar Software Support Peterson AFB, CO Editor, The Western Railroader A publication of the Pacific Coast Chapter, Railway & Locomotive Historical Society
