Eric,

Take a look at these two sites for more info:

	http://linux-sxs.org/hardware/flashreaders.html
	http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~ggbaker/personal/cf-linux

I bought a cheapo reader from Microcenter for under $10. You need to
follow these articles for setting up. After following the steps
documented, I got the working with no problems on RH9. Note that neither
Windows 98 nor XP sees this device. I could get it to work with 2000.

On the advice of the second article, I got a Sandisk 6 in 1 reader (more
expensive). This is detected automatically by RH9, FC1 and FC2. Works
great.
