Subject: Again off topic - Writing a SmartMedia card's CIS ...

I'm having a bit of an issue with a SmartMedia memory card ... I plugged it into my Libretto's PCMCIA converter just as it went into suspend and as a result, corrupted the first meg or so of the card. The problem is the card's CIS (card identification structure, stores a variety of information about the memory card) was damaged in the process.

With Linux, you don't need to write a new CIS, you can define a fake CIS.
The PCMCIA package includes the dump_cis and pack_cis tools

Yup, tried that but it isn't able to actually WRITE that CIS to the card ... at least not according to the reading I've done ... do you know of a way of doing it?
