Well, my company's Hexa Media Drive works well with Linux.  The Drive 
can read/write six different media types.  You can use Compact Flash, 
Smart Media, and MemoryStick/SD Card at the same time.  Here are some links:

You can order the HMD from here (Japanese):

The Slim-FBU USB Floppy also works with Linux, but the Tri-Media Reader 
unfortunately does not.

Hope this helps,
