I was trying to get the floppy adapter to work under linux, but it wasn't
going anywhere.  Then Marcus Metzler mentioned last night at the Nomikai
that there was a PCMCIA SmartMedia adapter available.  

Sure enough, there is :-)  You can mount the SmartMedia card in a PCMCIA 
slot under linux as an MSDOS partition ... I'm using that now to send the
nomikai pictures to the tlug server.  Thanks Marcus!
