Question: external scsi pcmcia card reader/writer

Hi, I need to purchase an external scsi (ide is full on my machine) pcmcia card reader/writer for use with a smart media card (once it's in its pcmcia card adapter). I know that the adapted smart media cards are themselves supported in linux, but I can't find any information anywhere about whether these external readers for desktops are supported, particularly if they are scsi devices. Specifically I'm looking at purchasing a microtech dpa-scsi-pc (http://www.d-store.com). If anybody has any information about whether this is supported in linux or not, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Eric

Actually, these just work like SCSI drives Re: Question: external scsi pcmcia card reader/writer (Eric Bourque) Date: 1999, Nov 15 From: David Hinds <dhinds@pcmcia.sourceforge.org>

This kind of SCSI PCMCIA reader doesn't actually require any special drivers at all: it is designed to make an ATA PCMCIA device look like a SCSI disk drive. It doesn't use or interact with the PCMCIA driver subsystem. You just treat your cards like a removable SCSI disk drive. -- Dave
