The card reader is by atechflash (atechflash.com) and is the Pro III 
model.  It reads 6 types of cards and firewire if connected by firewire. 
 I'm connected by USB so FW doesn't matter.

It shows up as SDA, I can mount it, but no data.  I've tried SD(A-F) and 
SD(A-A6 to F-F6) since it has multiple slots.  In M$, it shows up as 4 
different removable drives.

The camera is the SONY DSC-P7, gphoto2 and gtkam can attach to it but 
they cannot delete the files (known issue - reason for buying the card 
reader)

I've been putting in /etc/fstab:

/dev/sda    /mnt/memcard    tmpfs    user,rw        0 0

after several hours of frustration, I had to boot up a Win2K just to 
retreive the images.  Any help greatly appreciated.
