Oh i almost forgot....here is what the company that makes the thing says...

Dear customer,

Thank you for your inquiry.

So far, we have no plan to provide Linux driver by ourselves and support it.
But actually, the Linux driver of the chip implemented in the CFU1U is available on Cypress Web site, http://www.cypress.com.
The chip in the CFU1U is Cypress SL811HS.
http://www.cypress.com/products/datasheet....partnum=SL811HS
If the code is added PCMCIA function, I think you can use the CFU1U on Linux.

Here is I/O register map of the CFU1U.
I/O base address + 0:SL811 address
I/O base address + 1:SL811 register
I/O base address + 2:SL811 register
I/O base address + 3:SL811 register
I/O base address + 4-7:not used

These are the only information that we can provide.

One of our customer seems to have made the driver as follows.
Please take a look at:
http://paipai.org/~humorum/english/zaurus/...fu1-driver.html

Cheers

Wonderful, thank you everyone.  I installed everything and it sees the card but I am unable to mount anything.  I tried the card in my buddies pocketpc, it worked just fine.  I emailed the author of the driver to see if it a 5600 specific issue.

what kind of device are you trying to mount and what kind of error messages do you get?  Is it something to do with the card or the device?  I just want to know bc i am seriously considering buying that card, and i would like to know if it works
Cheers

Yet another post......Sorry, i\'ve been researching this alot lately.

Apparantly there are other cards...
http://www.twin-paradox.com/comparison.html
But the only one availible right now is the ratoc.

The interpocket one actually supports the zaurus !
 to bad they\'re sold out AND located in germany

The Twin paradox one comes out in may, and it looks a bit bulky (built in 2 port hub), not to mention no linux support

Yes, I have seen the page with the paradox.  I have installed the packages noted earlier and with a few scripts the darn thing works on my 5600!  I have mounted my watch and unfortunately my 80gb hd died or got zapped by the host... it appears to see the controller and returns a no media found error.  Unmounting is a little buggy and I have had a few freezes.  I am using the Kompany rom btw.  I have yet to try the hub, but there is no reason a host would not allow a hub =]

I have been able to mount my watchdrive and usb memory sticks... I think I toasted my 80gb.  I am waiting on a new usb enclosure for it.  I am in the Army and have limited resources at the moment so things like this take  awhile for me.
