One drawback though, I can't access my CFFA card properly. The system recognizes the media but not the partition on it. Trying several different access points with the WINE configuration ends up with a disk error or 'ram disk not supported'. For me, this is not a big problem. I have a uthernet card to transfer files with. It is however an annoyance that the problem exists, after all it is Linux. :) I suppose I could use another method such as a pc emulator with usb access but I don't think it's worth the effort.

If the CFFA card shows up as a block device in /dev/whatever, you should
be able to open it with "Open File" like you would any other ".po" disk
image file.


You would think so. The card itself shows as a scsi device with an unknown partition table in Linux (PcLinuxOS 2007). When attempting to access the scsi device with Ciderpress and WINE I get an error. I think the problem may be the WINE software layer but it could be the card/reader connecting via USB.

My latest attempt with Cedega tends to lock up either Ciderpress or Cedega. I'm not sure which but a ^c from the shell terminates them.

Oh well, just one of those things.
