I am currently working with SRAM cards with a poqet PC machine from Fujitsu
which Phil Kos sent me. I have so far managed to get Win95 to read these
cards, but there does not appear to be Linux support for them. I should
be able to write ELKS drivers for them without too much difficulty.
I will let you know if I make any progress.
