Ahh yes! BUT...

I have a SanDisk ImageMate USB smart media card reader that the iPhoto compatibility page says IS supported BUT alas, it is not. The only way I can get pics in is to boot into OS 9.2, use the card reader, then reboot in OS X and import the pics that way...

SDDR-31 only in X

The trouble with the SanDisk ImageMate USB smart media card reader is that there are about 8 version types of this reader. OS X only supports
SanDisk SDDR-31, and mine is SDDR-19 on its bottom and just like you, I can only see the pics in 9, and there seems to be no way that I can copy them off the card into a folder. Very annoying.

I believe that you are having the same problem I did... I seem to recall that the model number for the reader listed on Apple's site is for Compact Flash cards, not for Smart media, right? Bleh. I have been looking for a CompactFlash reader for OS X without success for a few weeks. I have finally ordered one from Apple that BETTER work! Grrr.
I have a Zio!! SmartMedia reader, but it doesn't work, and who knows when they will update their driver...
