Search the lists for "SDDR". It's at home, but I think I have the SDDR-31 which works great. The SDDR-05 *doesn't* work. Search the lists. It's in there. -philip To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

For future archive sake, I could not find any of the reccomended readers (here in aussie land), I went and tested in (4.8-RC) one and found the "Apacer Mega Steno 6in1" CF reader worked briliantly no hitches.

The Sitecom website claims that this model has been discontinued, but they're certainly still available here in .uk. People have reported success with SanDisk readers in the past, too.

SanDisk ImageMate, P/N SDDR-31, works exceptionally well. Just start usbd and plug it in. Dmesg will say something like this when it appears: umass0: SanDisk Corporation ImageMate CompactFlash USB, rev 1.10/0.09, addr 2 umass0: Get Max Lun not supported (STALLED) da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 650KB/s transfers da0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present Only "problem" here is when you have SCSI drives which are not "wired" in your kernel configuration. The USB SanDisk may pre-empt da0 on boot so your /etc/fsck is out of kilter. BTDT. SCSI disks needed to be wired in place anyhow but I've managed to go 8 years without. I thought it was a 1.0 MB/sec device on my Macintosh or somewhere. Maybe with a different USB interface under FreeBSD? Plugged into my G4's keyboard and asking what Apple System Profiler says, it only says, "Device Speed: Full."
