Not entirely true. A lot of them do not strictly adhere to the USB mass storage protocol - thus the need for a driver disk in many cases. I have a packard bell 6 in 1 that I have never gotten working in Linux though others have I heard. I and a business partner have a new web site up and running which sells them (6 in 1 USB 2.0 Reader/Writers) online:
http://www.flashcards.co.nz but I have not tried the new USB 2.0 ones we carry with Linux. I will let you know when I find out. As an aside, there was a discussion onlist about hardware personal ogg vorbis players. We have just brought in a shipment and will be adding them to the site soon. They play mp3, ogg and wma. That may be of interest to the list at some stage too.

PS, sorry for the shameless free plug. =)

Hello,
My understanding is that _any_ SD -> USB card reader should work (except for the "secure" part, I am not interested in) and should be seen as an ordinary USB mass storage device (similar to the CF -> USB card readers).
Am I right ? ... or wrong ?
If I am wrong ... are there particular brand/models of SD USB readers which would work ?
TIA
Cheers,
