I'm in a position now to partially answer my own question. My adaptor
has the Olympus name on it, but all of these adaptors (called FlashPath)
are made by a company called SmartDisk.

SmartDisk have released drivers for Linux. There is a static library in
precompiled form which implements the `flashpath protocol'. There are
some sources, for something called fpdaemon, which seems to be a status
monitoring/reporting program, and also some kernel source, but the bulk
of the code seems to be the flashpath protocol library. I'm not sure
whether the sources include those necessary to recreate this library;
I'm going to get a friend who does Linux to check it out for me.

regards
gram
