I don't know whether anyone else has adopted it. My FujiFilm S304 is xD. Someone (Adolfo, I think) had an xD camera working under 9.0, but mine wasn't recognised until the 2.4.21 kernel. I installed that with 9.0 and it worked fine. Of course there is no problem at all with 9.1.
Physically they are about half the size of a SmartMedia card, and store at a much higher density. They use less power, and store the pics quicker. Anne
