Sorry if this has been answered already, but is there a version of GPdrive/Phodrive that works under Linux?

The source is available, so it should be possible to fix the error that is keeping it from working.
 
to bad there is none, dont know if anyone tryd messing with the sources, one squidge wanted to include the soures of fireflys attemp to make it work, but i think he dropd that.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but GPdrive works like a flash drive, and Linux has support for those. I personally don't see why it wouldn't work. I haven't tested it myself though.

Yeah, that should work, but that does not. Seems like you never heard of wacky functioning USB keys with linux... It's a known problem, cheap USB storage devices do not work with Linux.
Though, it would surely be easier to implement a linux GP32 filesystem, I guess, using gp32linux as frontend.

No, Squidge has merged firefly sources with his AFAIK.

Some clues about why it does not work.. As you can notice, USB mass storage devices problems come from bad implementation of standards. :(
