There is a SanDisk model which works just about that easily. Need to run usbd. Then the CF card appears on /dev/da0 on my system. Have ufs filesystems on the CF cards we use so root has to mount them. But if dealing with CF cards from a camera I'd look into mtools from the ports. Used it a lot in the past with floppies. Do most DOS-like commands to floppies without mounting the filesystem. Without need of being root if you can read/write /dev/da0. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
