Almost as easy under Linux once the right modules are loaded. I had already built them months ago. The following script mount_flash does the trick for me:
#!/bin/sh # # edd 13 Feb 2003 # using info from http://vic.dyndns.org/linux-UsbMassStorage/ # and http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~ggbaker/personal/cf-linux # a matching entry is in /etc/fstab # also use 'sg_scan -i' and 'sg_map' so that all is well before mounting # load modules modprobe sd_mod modprobe sg modprobe usb-storage mount /mnt/flash echo "Compact Flash storage mounted at /mnt/flash" exit 0
