i bought a memory card reader to use specifically with my smartmedia card from the eb1150. it is a generic "read every existing card format available" type reader, with 4 different slots. sadly, it does not work for the smartmedia card. see this other post for details about that if you have any ideas.

i have given up on that card reader but i would still like to be able to access the memory card directly via windows file explorer.

i have not found a way to do this while the card is in the device : via usb connection, the device can communicate with filament books bookshelf or GEB Librarian bookshelf, but it is not visible to the pc as a removeable drive.

my 2 questions are :
1. is there any way to make the pc see the card while it is in the reader ?
2. which card reader will DEFINITELY read the smartmedia cards ? preferably one not too expensive please ! available on ebay would be perfect, or else from a shop which will ship to France for not too much shipping fees.

thanks for any advice.
