Greetings
Using a fairly new Mandrake release 8.1x
I have a SmartMedia USB device working almost out of the box
in Read/Write mode....It was jaw dropping easy after
the many hours reading/searches/posts in the past which often
led to no success.
OmniFlash 'Uno'

They even have a penguin along with the usual
on the front of their packaging...They also make
flash and media stick readers as well though I have not tested
those with read/write in linux....
Their cdrom has a Linux section with very clear
instructions on adding the last needed entries to
/etc/fstab and creating a directory....
This is a major beakthrough and I hope Linux users support
this company by buying this product. Its cheap too!
(No I do not work for the company in question)
But spent alot of time on mandrake-lists trouble-shooting two
previous useless non-supported Readers...And this thing Reads
AND WRITES!!!!
I am hoping Mandrake will add the appropriate config files
to have it auto detected/configured in harddrake.
