EverythingHerePlus.com is now offering a Linux compatible USB reader for PCMCIA PC Card SRAM and ATA Flash memory devices just $155.00 USD. For full details check out U111-M USB to PCMCIA PC Card ATA Flash and SRAM.In addition to testing the U111M with excellent results on the Windows XP platform, we were asked to test the U111-M with stable and secure Unix-like operating systems.
Here are the results.
- Xubuntu Linux 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) amd64 edition
- U111-M reader is recognized, both ATA Flash and SRAM worked without a hitch
- OpenBSD 4.6 beta i386 edition
- U111-M reader is recognized, kernel assigns sd0 dev on card inserts, but cannot mount cards using standard mount_msdos command line
- OpenBSD UPDATE, this has been resolved -- please see this post for information on using the U111-M with OpenBSD
- Mac OS X 10.4.11 PPC edition (iMac)
- U111-M reader is recognized, but card inserts throw a "card not recognized" error dialog
- Mac OS X 10.5.8 x86 edition (Mac Pro)
- U111-M reader is recognized, but card inserts throw a "card not recognized" error dialog
The U111-M represents a low cost way to deploy both PCMCIA PC Card ATA Flash and SRAM on newer systems without existing PC Card slots. Its excellent compatibility with Linux is good news for users and the ability to deal with PCMCIA PC Card SRAM makes it unique in that regard. Xubuntu is the XFCE based Ubuntu distribution, and the U111-M really shined throughout the entire testing procedure.
