parallel port PCMCIA card reader

by bia.. » Thu, 22 Nov 2001 10:23:33

Has anyone setup a windows type parallel port card reader?
I have a camera-mate which works w/ Win (and also OS/2 DOS from drive a).
I don't see any way to get it to work in Linux (RH and SuSe)
Thanks, FXS

1. CompactFlash card- Imagemate Parallel Port Reader- how???

Sandisk is apparently ducking the question: Why no DOS (or Linux)
drivers for their Parallel Port
CF card reader: "Imagemate"?? Only Windoz, Windoz, ad infinitum! Yet
they produce DOS drivers
for some of their other stuff according to their website.
www.sandisk.com

Read the 'OEM' page and they discuss how compatible their cf cards
are to the DOS filesystem, etc.
The thought ocurrs to me that command-line access to the cf card may
be 'trivial'. Is there a scintilla
of truth to this notion?? I.e., with the cardreader hooked to the
parallel port, perhaps Linux could access
the cf card as an IDE device. Without the cutsie icon on the desktop
like their program creates- convenient
but not reallly needed.

Any thoughts or leads much appreciated.
