I am looking for a usb compact flash reader that works with linux.
I have a ZIO compact flash reader, that barely works with windows XP
(Windows XP is complaining about driver errors, and it works after
I reboot, but it doesn't work after I replace a compact flash card,
so it isn't acceptable (and, to any wintrolls, please find a decent
device drive FOR THE WOLRDS MOST PREVALENT COMPACTFLASH CARD READR)
.

What should I buy? I need to buy a couple, and I also need to buy
one that really works with XP. ZIO fromm Microtechint is not compatible
with Windows XP, and I haven't bothered to try it with linux, because
it looks like this company doesn't have it's shit together. If you
can't even get your shit to work with Windows XP, don't bother.
Euthansia is the solution...

My Microtech CameraMate Smart Card Reader works well with my linux system.

I am not certain, but I think ZIO compact flash readers will also work
with Linux as well.

I have had no problems with linux - I use a Uno! cf reader, and also a
Kangaru flash drive - both work great with every distro I have tried.

bill shine spilled his alphabet soup on the floor,
and the letters spelled:

<snip>

I have one from SanDisk, model SDDR-73. It's great for a Zaurus guy
like myself, in that not only will it read CF, but also SD/MMC. I
picked it up at the MicroCenter for $35.

I have an el-cheapo ($24.95 at Walmart) Lexar CF Reader that I've used
successfully on LGX. Though now I find myself never using it since I got
wifi for the Z.

Try the SiteCom CN-300.

I have one, it's a MultiReader that reads SD/MMC/CF/SmartMedia/Memory
stick. Runs perfectly well under Linux as a USB Mass Storage device,
and is explicitly supported as such by SiteCom.
