The OmniFlash Uno series is generic usb-storage, and works great
in linux without any extra drivers (both read and write).
It's also small and very inexpensive.

Really, their combo drive can write as well as read smartmedia under
linux?  That's good news.  The older smartmedia-only Sandisk (and Zio,
which uses the same chip and the sddr09 driver) work well on linux in
read-only mode, but writing in 2.4 requires a kernel patch (2.5 has
the patch already).
