Has anyone successfully used BL2 or BL3 with SW8.1 kernel and a USB card 
reader?  If so, what is the procedure?

I have photopc and a serial cable for the Olympus digital camera, which 
worked fine for downloading 1MB of photos via serial cable for a different 
camera, but after a 5 week trip this newer camera has over 50 MB of files 
and at 10KB/sec it would take quite a while and use up a few sets of 
batteries.

We tried with Win98 and  gave up, and with WinXP but it did not come with 
the required drivers for the Smartmedia card reader.  I tried with Redhat 
7 which found the hardware but I had no idea what to do next.

Linux seems to need uhci or ohci something-or-other.
