Reading a CF card using a PCMCIA converter under Linux

Can someone point me in the direction of a HOWTO or give me a quick rundown on how to convince my linux running IBM A30p laptop mount a compact flash card via its PCMCIA card slot (and a generic radio shack converter)?

I'm running Gentoo 1.4 / 2.6.0-test4-mm2 (I think...just switched 2.6 versions and don't have the laptop handy...it's close to that anyhow) with PCMCIA support compiled into the kernel (not as a module).

Thanks!

Peace,
will
 
Interesting... USB readers treat it like a scsi device and it should mount under a SCSI device name for USB readers, so to do that you need to have SCSI support and USB mass storage stuff enabled in the kernel...


But the PCMCIA flash stuff uses a PCMCIA IDE interface.. well according to this, anyways. Much like a PCI ide controller I am guessing.

"flash card readers" pcmcia linux
