I've got an Olympus camera, and use a Fujitsu SM-R2 reader - the SM-R1 has also been reported to work - to read the SmartMedia cards from it. You have to use camcontrol eject to get the drive to stop being "ready" so you can take the card out. That's a minor inconvenience, and makes me wish that "mount" had an "eject" option. If you've got a SCSI system, there are other headaches, but those are shared by all the USB media readers. > P.S. Please cc me a reply, I am not on the list.
