OmniFlash (they even have "the penguin" on the container
along with the "usual" suspects..
www.omniflashproducts.com
http://www.compuapps.com/Products/products.html
(I ordered my SM R/W from this company, It was 19.95 in Feb '02
and they actually sent it FREE-SHIPPING to a p.o. box without
the aggravating FedEX caveat')
This company is very supportive of Linux...Please support them...
Sandisk has not added Linux-compatability to their later Readers
i.e. sddr-55 etc and I actually had to get them to change their web-site several months ago which had all kinds of false information which cost me $$$$ to discover.....
Anyhow OmniFlash Uno Reader/Writer works for me in SM format....
Also this one "OmniFlash UnoMas USB Reader/Writer (4 Slot all in one reader / writer, reads/writes Compact Flash,Smart Meida, MultiMeidaCard/ Secure Digital and Memory Sticks" which would be a real desirable item but I have no personal experience with it..
My R/W was recognized and working "out of the box" using Mnadrake 8.x
Please support companies who actively supposrt Linux !!!!
No, I do not work for them....
