[WNCLUG] USB SD Card reader

[Joe]

I found it!  I looked at dmesg and it said things that looked like 
scsi.  Then, I looked in fstab and found an entry for /dev/sda1 that 
didn't look familiar.  ls showed me the card contents!

I think kudzu put it there for me!

This is really cool because hot syncing my Palm Tungsten E wasn't going 
anywhere (all the utilities I've found so far seem to want a serial 
connection and not usb - which is all it can do) and this way, I can 
still transfer files without rebooting to Windoze.
