I've had some problems getting usb to recognize devices that weren't compiled into the kernel, so you might try a new kernel with umass and all the things it needs and rebooting. If it doesn't recognize the thing as a umass device on boot, then the reader isn't supported. It may require nothing more than putting the device id into the umass driver somewhere. > I'm running FreeBSD 4.2R. Or updating your FreeBSD. You really should check the archives via google or marc to see if anyone has made that device work, and what they had to do to do it. Once it's recognized as a umass device, you'll get something like: umass0: Hagiwara Sys-Com SmartMedia R/W, rev 1.10/2.00, addr 2 and da3 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 so you make the da3 device - or whatever disk device it showed up for you as - in /dev, then insert the card and mount da3 as a DOS file system: mount -t dos /dev/da3s1 /mnt <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
