Hello!

Here is the logging of my tests with the Kingston Comact
Flash Card Reader that I cannot use on my Linux V2.2.5 system:

This is the origional message that I have written to this mailing
list:
> I want to connect a Kingston compact flash card reader

> I use a V2.2.5 kernel and it seems not to work.
> Has anyone some experiences with this two parallel port

> The kingston cf card reader is based on a Shuttle EPAT.
> It is possible to map a compact flash disk after it is

> The backpack drive does not work at all but the backpack
> protokoll seems to work.
