These are vendor and product id's.

My smartmedia card is apparently made by SCM microsystems. More 
information about the card was provided by someone in a mail list:

   Linkname: [Linux-usb-users] Soyo Bayone memory card reader

http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-usb-users AT lists.sourceforge.net/msg07286.html

(They had an Olympus smartmedia reader and a Soyo card reader both plugged 
into the camera).

You can buy internal USB card readers that plug into the USB header 
instead of into USB ports, in case you have headers but not ports like we 
do on most computers.  They probably need the same linux drivers as 
the external readers.

David, in case other people have screwy storage devices, would you want to 
compile a kernel to accept usb-storage as a module, and then only have to 
recompile the module once in a while instead of the whole kernel (assuming 
you are willing to provide this service to us dummies)?  I once tried to 
compile a module for an ethernet card and seriously scrambled my file 
system somehow.  I went back to using older cards instead.

It would be much less educational if this all worked on the first try.
