I have bought a Conquest USB Pocket Disk with 32 MB of RAM which seems to be just like the Fujitsu-Siemens MemoryBird which is supported by the USB (-storage).
I have installed all the drivers, scsi (for the emulation, I don't have any scsi devices) and the system seems to detect the device correctly: [root@magrathea]# cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: RiteLink Model: mass storage Rev: 1.00 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 But I am not able to mount nor to format or fdisk (is that possible?) the device. When I try something like "mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/usbdisk" I get the default "unable to mount, maybe wrong fs type..."-message and the following entries in my /var/log/messages: Dec 20 00:03:49 magrathea kernel: SCSI device (ioctl) reports ILLEGAL REQUEST.

Someone please got any hints for me? Its frustrating to plug the device into an Wondoze-System and see it working within seconds ... -fl _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
