I have a PNY Smart Media reader that I purchased to read the Smart Media cards I use with my Olympus D460L digital camera. Like everyone else on the lists, I was unable to get it to work successfully with Linux (worked fine under Win98). But, tonight I got it to work! All I did was add the following line to my fstab: "/dev/sda1 /mnt/smedia msdos user" (without the quotes, of course).
The best that I can figure is that the msdos file system type is different from the vfat and that is why auto and vfat failed. I came up with this by looking at the properties of the reader under Windows and it showed the card was written to with 16bit MS-DOS. So, I thought I'd try it under Windows and it worked! My reader is listed under disks under Hard Drake as a SCSI on sda and the card is correctly identified as 32MB. I don't know if this will work for anyone else, but I post it hoping it will Joe
