Here is one for you ! How do I see the contents of a Smart Media Card ?

Asked by Lynne Stevens

This is a card from so far back in time God was not there . . Smart Media Card ( all of 2 megs ) can be seen in windows 7-1 ( 32 bit ) inside of Virtual Box after installing the software drivers for it . .Linux turns on the light says it seen it but will not show the Mounted Volume or contents . . It is still good and has my Name on the Card ( Lynne ) I added a file so maybe it would be seen in Ubuntu . . But no go . . USB card holder from Amazon . .
This is from days of windows 98 ! .Can't believe it is still Good and working yet . . Found the card in the bottom of a box from way back when . .

What file system is the smart media card using?

If you boot and log in without the device inserted. Once logged in, plug in the storage and run:

sudo dmesg | tail; sudo parted -l; lsb_release -a; uname -a; lsusb

Thanks

If you run:

sudo modprobe ssfdc

The Unit works in windows of course . . But when I shut down Virtual Box which turns off the unit an Un plug it and re pug it in so that Ubuntu Sees it ( It has a built in drive with drivers for Windows ) Comes up as a disk Realteck and add the "sudo modprobe ssfdc" in Terminal the unit does not have its tiny blue LED light flashing like it does in windows ( Cuddy is the Brand name for it has Dual Band WiFi for Faster speeds is says )
