USB Flash Memory suggestions

[Chris Friedt]

almost all flash memory (except for the odd case) works well with the
scsi generic disk driver (i.e. sda, sdb, etc). You should either compile
this as a module and insert it upon boot, or compile directly into the
kernel. I would choose option #2. In the kernel configuration It should
be under 

Device Drivers -> SCSI Device Support

Make sure you have 

<*> SCSI disk support 
<*> SCSI generic support

Also, under

Device Drivers -> USB Support

<*>  EHCI HCD (USB 2.0) support
<*> UHCI HCD (most Intel and VIA) support 
<*> USB Mass Storage support
--- under here is a list of specific drivers

I would recommend using a kingston memory device, works w/ generic usb
storage driver.

it should be configured into the kernel

Hello All,  I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on
linux
compatible flash memory for use with both linux and windows?  Does it
matter which brand I buy or do they all work equally with linux? Is
there
a page which rates linux compatibility of flash-memory similar to the
one
for printers?  Are there any local downtown Toronto stores that you
suggest buying from? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.  Alex
