This sounds similiar to a question I've been asking myself lately, are
there any compact flash/smart media card readers out there that work with
GNU/Linux?  Something usb or ide I would gather?  I currently hook up my
digi cam via usb to my box just fine and can browse the files there, but
that drains on my camera batteries.  I have a usb compact flash/smart
media card reader [1] but don't think it will really work.
 
Anyone else have any experiences?
