Just wondering whether anyone has successfully gotten
either a PCMCIA SmartMedia Adapter (specifically the
Viking Components one) or a FlashPath floppy SmartMedia
adapter working under 2.4.x. I've got both, and haven't
gotten either working under either 2.2.x or 2.4.x, but
I haven't had the time to work real hard at it either,
so I'm hoping someone can give me some pointers...
TIA,
tw

http://www.smartdisk.com has a driver (which includes a binary-
only library) for FlashPath that you can compile for your kernel
Works fine here (2.2.16)
Don't know about PCMCIA though

I'm using a PCMCIA SmartMedia adapter from Hagiwara here, it worked
out of the box with 2.2.19pre5 (the first kernel I tried, no particular
reason behind the version). No patches, no libraries, no bull.
This laptop is a pile of crap and most PCMCIA related stuff tends to
break randomly - but this card has worked flawlessly all the time.
The trasfer-rate from a 32MByte flash card is roughly 800 KB/sec, it
can't do DMA.

I have a Simple Technology PCMCIA adapter that just worked when I compiled
the PCMCIA modules for my kernel. It just looks like an IDE hard drive to
linux and shows up as an /dev/hdxx device.

That is going to be a SDA device and will have another form of content
protection like CPRM and Linux will not support that superset of features
at this time or in the future. SMA's are on the hit list for music by the
SDMI. If you want to use it as as standard ATA device cool, but the
0xD{0123} opt-codes are not public yet and fall under CFA.
Because it does not use a public spec and I can not release the private
one.....well you get the point.
