Has anyone had any success with smartmedia (flash) cards under
-current?

I just got one of the new Microtech smartmedia PC Card adaptors "ATA
compatible 2M-128M 5v/3.3v".  (It seems like they covered all their
bases.)  The card naturely works under the Evil OS, emulating a disk
(floppy, hard disk???) of some sort.

Under current, it does give some highly reassuring signs of activity,
but doesn't quite work all the way.

BTW: Does "IMOLYM" mean anything to Japanese speakers?  Its the name
of the directory created by an Olympus-320 on the smartmedia card.
