I've got an AFT PRO-9. It's a 9-in-1 connects via USB 2.0 |
18 |
internally/externally and has Secure Digital, Multimedia Card, |
19 |
SmartMedia, xDigital, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, CompactFlash, |
20 |
MicroDrive and a 4-pin FireWire 400 port (pass-through, you need a |
21 |
FireWire port somewhere on your computer). |

I've only tested it with an SD card, and it seems to work perfectly. |

To use this, you need to compile in SCSI support (the same you need for |
26 |
USB Mass Storage) and make sure you select the "Probe all LUN's" option. |
