Well, I have since dorked around with various things, different kernel vers, etc. Finally gave up and tried plugging it into a couple of different Windows machines that according to Pocketec should have worked, and they none of 'em fared better. So finally I did what I should have done in the beginning, called Pocketec, and they agreed that it sounded like a dead on arrival drive. They offered to do an exchange, but I decided to try the local store I bought the drive from, R.C.S., and they very graciously exchanged it. The new drive plugged right in and works perfectly. Pocketec and R.C.S. have both impressed me as companies I'm glad to be a customer of. And for the record, the Pocketec Pockey USB 2.0 drive works fine on a Sony Vaio Picturebook C1VPK running Red Hat 7.2 with a simple install of 2.4.19. Probably other kernels would work fine as well, when I called Pocketec they said that they'd had some probs with kernels before 2.4.5, so evidently they've had this working fine for a while now. -Bennett
