1. Connect the scanner via USB and choose Mass Storage mode (press E / Yes when prompted).
   Linux should auto-mount it (usually under /media/yourusername/XXXX-XXXX).
2. Open a terminal and run:
   Bash
   
   winecfg
   
   
   
3. Go to the Drives tab.
   Locate the drive letter that points to the scanner’s mount point.
4. Click Show Advanced.
   Change the Type from “Autodetect” (or whatever it shows) to Floppy Disk.
5. Click Apply → OK.
6. Launch Sentinel again. It should now see the SD card.

Note: You often have to repeat the winecfg Floppy-Disk step each time you reconnect the scanner, because the mount point can change.

Thank you However still no seeing it. I see it in Linux. I can get into SS card by files in Linux. I run the winecfg command and follow your instructios still blank when choose read from scanner.
