Well, as to that, if I could get the reader not to crash the system (I
wonder whether it's an architectural mismatch--AMD Duron not quite being
an "athlon" or a "686"?), I would modify the kernel to "probe all LUN's
in any SCSI device." That's the solution to the multi-card-reader
problem that I heard elsewhere.

I suspect that my solution might have to wait until I can build a
machine based on a PIII or P4, where the kernel will match the
architectures. Weird--that the digital camera won't crash the system,
but the card reader does.
