Hi Alan, That's a good question :-)
There seem to be two different flavors of ISD-300 (ie: 05ab,0060) devices, one of which needs this entry to work, and the other doesn't. I have a 2 1/2'' HDD enclosure which (just like your device) doesn't need the entry (so when I plug it, I get the same warning as you). However, I also happen to own two 5 1/4'' CD-ROM enclosures, for which this entry *is* necessary. I tried again, very recently to remove my unusual_devs.h entry, and it prevented them from working. So, I think the entry should be kept (it does more good than harm), but maybe it could get some tweaking ? If there's a way to recognize these "CD-ROM enclosure" bridge chips and exclude the others, I'm all for it. If you need some more info about those "CD-ROM enclosure" devices, I'd be glad to provide it -- but I'm no USB expert :-) btw my name is JoÃl (but the accented 'e' letter didn't go through) Best Regards, JoÃl On Mon, 2004-06-28 at 16:41, Alan Stern wrote: > On Fri, 25 Jun 2004, Michele G. wrote: > > > usb-storage: This device (05ab,0060,1106 S 06 P 50) has unneededSubClass > > and Protocol entries in unusual_devs.h > > Hmm...
