Maybe I'm being thick but I don't understand that. How do you make these
memory cards available to the system if not through some kind of reader
device? Or are you referring to USB flash keys.

Either way, I have both a Belkin SM reader and a Fuji multi-card reader,
both of which worked out of the box under Debian Etch and Sid (can't say
Sarge because I haven't tried it but don't see why it wouldn't work).

Similarly I have a Fuji digital camera which is loaded as a mass storage
device with a media card in it.

The Fuji reader is even daisy-chained off a usb hub and still works
fine. In fact the only card reader I have which didn't just work is the
built in SD reader on my Tecra M1.
