Compact Flash Readers

Greetings All, I have a SanDisk ImageMate USB Compact Flash reader I would like to get going in Slackware. I see it when I run
cdrecord -scanbus and recieve the following output:

Linux sg driver version: 3.1.24
Using libscg version 'schily-0.7'
scsibus1:
1,0,0 100) 'SanDisk ' 'ImageMate CF-SD1' '0100' Removable Disk
1,1,0 101) *
1,2,0 102) *
1,3,0 103) *
1,4,0 104) *
1,5,0 105) *
1,6,0 106) *
1,7,0 107) *
Anyone know how I would go about mouting this device so I can get my digital images from my camera? Thanks.

Due to the SCSI emulation in the usb-storage module, your CF card should be /dev/sda1 (SCSI Disk "A" partition 1)
So, the command which will most likely mount it is

Code:

mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/floppy

replacing /mnt/floppy with where ever you want to mount the device to.
However, a word of warning...be especially careful to be sure to unmount the CF card before removing it from the reader...I've forgotten to before and had the partition table and all the data on the CF card to get completely screwed up.
