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 -- Dr Graham Wheeler E-mail: gram@cequrux.com Director, Research and Development WWW: http://www.cequrux.com CEQURUX Technologies Phone: +27(21)423-6065 Firewalls/VPN Specialists Fax: +27(21)424-3656 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
