Greetings: FWIW - here's a snip of my dmesg pertaining to my flash
drive:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
usb.c: registered new driver usb-storage
scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
Vendor: Link-Max Model: UL-641 Rev: 7.77
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
SCSI device sda: 128000 512-byte hdwr sectors (66 MB)
sda: Write Protect is off
sda: sda1
WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merely mounting /dev/sda1, you can write and read per a normal
drive.. If your 'dmesg' doesn't report an assign scsi channel to
the drive, something else is amiss..
Be advised I've had to return at least one vendors' flash drive not
responding and not usable with Linux... I've found the few I've tried
to be a mixed bag of tricks.. I don't think they've, the producers,
gotten it all together completly yet... <grin> The one I am now using
is crazy in that it works automagically with Linux but Win98FE and
Win98SE flaky, and Win95USB negative, the design targets.... Go
figure, eh?
HTH a bit. Cheers.
