With the debian hotplug package installed. I have done no setup other than
manually mounting /dev/sda1 with the -t msdos command (not got around to an
fstab entry yet).
I am a little worried about the interaction with ide-scsi (you may remember a
thread on here where I was unable to find out when it gets loaded - I still
haven't cracked that one - so its manually removed).

Yes
I unmounted the card and then did a
mkfs -t msdos /dev/sda1
followed but a mount, and then
mkdir -p /mnt/dcim/100olymp (where /mnt is the mount point)
copied an edited jpeg image back to that directory.
When I unmounted it, and then put the smartmedia back in the camera I was able
to see the file from the cameras little lcd screen. (It was the wrong size -
can't remember what editiing I did on it)
What was more fun, was that I also was able to format the media as a ext2
filesystem and then create files and directories on it.
