I use a Dazzle SmartMedia Reader/Writer on Linux RH9.0 to transfer pics from my digital camera to my file server. I use a script to mount and unmount the Media Card Reader. It can also be done from a terminal command line as the script only contains the one line:
' mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/SmartMedia' (without the quotes, of course)
Note that the directory /mnt/SmartMedia must be created before this script or command line is executed.
Works fine. As a matter of fact, this Reader crashes my Win98SE box, even using their newest 'driver'.
