After hearing about a problem with the VIA USB chipset,
and noticing that my machine has a very old version of the VIA USB,
I decided to take a different approach.

        I bought a USB expansion card and gave it a try.

        That _almost_ worked. The Wallet mounts, is readable, and I've
even been able to copy the ddna.exe file off of it to a Windows machine
and run it.

        Unfortunately, I can't mount it writable.

        It's pretty clear from the logs that the write-protect
test failed, but what's weird is that the driver claims there
are four partitions on the Wallet. There are not. In fact, the
only mountable partition's the "full device", /dev/sda.

        Any ideas on how I can get this to be writable and what the
"extra" partitions mean?
