Not exactly what you're looking for, but related - I was able to help someone make a USB ZIP drive accessible under a x86 version of linux. If I remember correctly, you need to have the SCSI-generic module and the usb_mass_storage (or something similar) module to be able to use hot plug USB drives in linux. They usually show up as SCSI drives if they are found and mounted. cheers -- vinai To get my real e-mail address, replace "4" with "for" in the above address
