CF cards use the IDE specification and so i would imagin that they would work with any distro of linux. you can get compact flash to IDE converters, try www.cfide.co.uk (they are about 22 each with P&P) which id assume would work (as it is just a cable converter) Yours S Hammond
Oh well this little usb device cost's £6.99 so it seemed like a better idea then paying £20+. It can read a load of other card types then just compatct flash. I cant get the damed thing to work though. It's being seen by my usbdrivers(well its in usbveiw), and if i look at dmesg i can see that scsi has started playing with the device as sda but i cant mount it =(.
I've tryed this to mount the card but have had no luck(as shown):
icedesk:/home/dennis# mount -t vfat -o ro /dev/sda /mnt/usb-cardreader/ mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda, or too many mounted file systems
Does anyone have nay suggestions on what to try?
