What Sandisk are you using? I have a model SDDR-05 without an eject 
button. This seems to mean it's not the SDDR-05a.

I use it on an iMac and a M$Win98SE box. Instructions for the iMac have me 
drag the desktop icon to 'Trash' at which point I get a splash saying I 
may safely remove the card. Sandisk's FAQ suggests using the 'eject' 
command in M$Win to avoid corruption of files on the card when it is 
removed. Sandisk's web info identifies only the SDDR-31 and SDDR-33 as 
compatible with Linux

Bottom line: anyone know if I can use this SDDR-05 safely with Linux, and
are there precautions I should take before removing the card (i.e.,
'umount')?

TIA.
