It's a 9-in-1 connects via USB 2.0=20 internally/externally and has Secure Digital, Multimedia Card,=20 SmartMedia, xDigital, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, CompactFlash,=20 MicroDrive and a 4-pin FireWire 400 port (pass-through, you need a=20 FireWire port somewhere on your computer). I've only tested it with an SD card, and it seems to work perfectly. To use this, you need to compile in SCSI support (the same you need for=20 USB Mass Storage) and make sure you select the "Probe all LUN's" option. -- Colin --=20 gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
