I've got an Apacer SM/CF combo reader too. I found your email :
I just got myself an Apacer SM/CF combo reader, USB 07c4:a109. The CF part is supported in the stock kernel (by datafab.c), the SM part is not. This evening I wrote a read-only driver; hope to add the writing part soon.

Does your driver work well ?
Yes, it reads and writes without problems, both CF and SM, assuming the surrounding kernel works.
Is it in the stock kernel now ? If not, is it possible to get it?
Now the question arises what you mean by "stock kernel".
2.6.0-test3 is still in a sorry state. I cannot insmod usb-storage.o for a vanilla 2.6.0-test3. It hangs. (Have not checked yet whether this is a permanent hang or one of these scsi_eh_X that spend hours resetting the bus and trying again. I booted 33 min ago and it still hangs.)
I have not tried 2.4 recently, but that is supposedly stable.
If you need the CF half, you need no help from me, you must "just" find some kernel where usb-storage and usb and scsi all work. Maybe a recent 2.4 would do.
If you need the SM half, ask me again.

[Long ago I made some general common infrastructure for SM readers. In May 2002 someone asked me for this stuff and I put something at ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/aeb/usb-storage.tar.gz Don't recall precisely what this is, or to what kernel it belonged, in view of the date it may have been 2.5.13 or 2.5.14. But I see there is an apacer.c, and the source looks healthy at first sight.] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
