card reader on Mogul (linux support?)

[lazyboy0172]

Is there any WM6 (that is, specifically Mogul) programs that will treat the phone as a card reader so that I could use it with linux? I tried the most recent version of WM5torage, and it started to work, in that when i plugged it in the computer started charging it rather than dismissing it, but the card didnt show up as a device as it should. Anything out there that works?

Unfortunately for you (and many of us), they rewrote much of the file caching to make the read/write access of the card more efficient in the more recent WM6-compatible devices... The advantage is that even slower microSD cards perform well for regular tasks. The PROBLEM with that is the older apps that let the card act as a pass-through (like WM5torage) can't deal with this new caching scheme, and usually outright fail.

This has been true since devices were announced to be WM6-upgradeable, such as the Dash from T-mobile. Sadly, no one's found a way around this yet as far as i know.
