are they similar to keychain devices ?

if so then it should be possible.

they use a scsi-usb emulation module

My Sandisk reader was read/write under Red Hat so I know it does work.

I just got it working in Gentoo, but it's mostly ro. It's realy wierd I can make one change(delete, copy, etc) to the file system on the flash card, but the 2nd and all other tries fail.

I'm sure I have something setup wrong.

This is the line from /etc/fstab

I think the file system on the card was screwed up. I let my camera reformat it and it seems to be working good now (read/write).
