ATech PROII Multi-format flash card reader + linux?

[Colin]

I've got an Atech PROII multi-format (CF, SM, MD, MMC) USB flash card
reader (www.atechflash.com) -- under Windows, each of the slots is
seen as a different drive, and I'm not sure how the Linux USB
mass-storage driver is supposed to handle it or how I'm supposed to
mount it. Does anyone have any experience with this?

(Also, I've got USB mass-storage and USB Preliminary Filesystemin my
kernel, and my USB thumbdrive/keychain things all work fine.)

Oh, and /dev/usb is empty.

If you have other USB mass-storage devices working fine, the Atech thing
should work fine as well, assuming the manufacturers didn't cut corners.
If 'Doze sees each slot as a separate "drive", then it's possible that
the device will show each slot as a separate virtual SCSI device (CF
slot on /dev/sdc1, SM slot on /dev/sdd1, etc.) I don't think this will
happen unless you can use more than 1 slot at a time on the card reader.

Yep. I think you're looking for /proc/bus/usb/ , which contains
information on all the USB devices that are attached. /dev/usb/ will
not necessarily have anything in it, since some distros put all the USB
device nodes in the toplevel /dev directory, and some distros use devfs,
which is totally different.
