Whow! thats quick!
I just went to http://www.digitalkamera.de that also offers english pages, searched for linux and found *one* adaptor, (I assume USB) that is supported by linux -SO THE MANUFACTURER CLAIM- Actually, I'd like to read the media cards direct. All I need is a media and adapter to experiment with, I cannot imagine it beeing so far off, but one never knows. My approach sounds so obvious, someone must have done it before.

I've got good news, I found the answer in the following howto http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/PCMCIA-HOWTO-4.html#ss4.8 it'll also be under /usr/doc somewhere if you installed them. It should cover exactly what you want and confirms that smartmedia and compact flash are used as IDE devices.
Thanks again Tim, I also had news from the friends I spend the Linux Beer Hike with. It seems (or *is* in their case) that these media appear -as I have seen- as a hard drive, but you need to access a *partition*, like /dev/hdc1 in my case. Stupid me tried /dev/hdc instead. Not to my usual standard, I know. So there will be another trial on friday and probably a happy camara salesman too. ;-) Juergen -- =========================================== __ _ Juergen Braukmann juergen.braukmann@gmx.de| -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Tel: 0201-743648 dk4jb@db0qs.#nrw.deu.eu | /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ===========================================_\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
