I had one of my camera's Smart Media cards die on me the other day,
and I'm trying to recover the photos that I took that day.
Windows XP doesn't mount the card via a USB card reader. Mac OS X
doesn't mount the card via a USB card reader, either. Since I can't
get the card to mount, it doesn't even show up as a device in /dev,
which prevents me from doing a "dd" to recover data.
The camera doesn't even recognize the card now, and refuses to
even format the card.
Googling hasn't been of much help, but I did find a couple of
utilities that I'll try once I get home:

leading me to believe that they aren't going to be useful.
So... any suggestions on how to get the card visible under Linux?
