This is a 3.5" USB mass storage disk caddie. I've been having fun and games trying to get it running under Linux. It's USB 2.0 so, having read the comments at http://www.linux-usb.org, I have upgraded to the latest 2.4 kernel I could lay my hands on: 2.4.22-rc1
Using that out of the box without changing anything else the caddie appeared as USB mass storage in usbview, but nothing appeared in /proc/scsi/scsi as the how to suggested it would. /var/log/messages suggested that the device wasn't been identified. Groping around in the dark I discovered ./drivers/usb/storage/unusual_devs.h and added an entry for the caddie. That improved things somewhat. By fiddling with the many degrees of freedom I can get to the point where I get an entry in /proc/scsi/scsi for the caddie thus: ------------8<----------------------- Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: iBuddie Model: 3.5" HDD caddie Rev: 0099 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi2 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: RICOH Model: MP6200S Rev: 2.20 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 ------------8<----------------------- ... but /var/log/messages shows it's still not really communicating properly and it doesn't appear in usbview. I've tried all the US_PR_ options I could find in unusual_devs.h. Some produce different results but none work and I feel I could keep going forever before I find the right combination, if such exists. Are there any clues documented anywhere on how to configure a new entry in unusual_devs.h correctly? Oh yes, and is this list archived anywhere? I was hoping to read the archive before I bothered you with my problems, but Sourceforge claims there isn't one.
