It looks like the source code is incomplete. In particular, the SmartDisk FlashPath Protocol Library appears to be binary only. Since that's what you actually need to talk to the thing, this doesn't do a lot of good. There is someone working on an Open Sourced Linux driver, but they're still trying to figure out how the drive behaves. It's apparently got one track, and you write to the first two sectors to move that track around the memory on the card. It also looks like the file system on the thing is only vaguely related to FAT. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
