It seems to be working now for some mysterious reason. This happened after I powered down to install an Ultra-SCSI adapter, though I'm pretty sure that is just a coincidence. Here's what dmesg shows now: Vendor: SPRING Model: MultiCard Slot A Rev: 0100 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi removable disk sdb at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Vendor: SPRING Model: MultiCard Slot D Rev: 0100 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi removable disk sdc at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 1 Vendor: SPRING Model: MultiCard Slot S Rev: 0100 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi removable disk sdd at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 2 Vendor: SPRING Model: MultiCard Slot M Rev: 0100 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi removable disk sde at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 3 With the 4MB CF card inserted, I was able to access it with cfdisk /dev/sdb. Unfortunately, the card seems to be bad. I made a FAT12 partition on it (since that is what it's supposed to have for my camera), but writing the new partition table failed. I seem to recall some timeout errors or something like that. At least I know the card reader works. And the strange thing is, I still have only one cable connected to the internal USB, yet all four clots are active. So, anyone know what that second cable is for? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
