For the list searchers out there... My Mstation MP3 player, also known as Neo 25 IV or SSI America that ses a Scanlogic SL11R-IDE chip now works on 2.4.22 and will probably work on earlier 2.4 kernels.
(who else should I send this info to BTW? the linux-usb-devel list? How do I get it on the working devices list?) First off, it has to be firmware rev 2.6, instructions for doing that are in the working devices list at www.linux-usb.org, currently the bit you want is http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=491 else search on "Neo" or "Scanlogic". Note that most of the sites given to get stuff from are no longer with us... other places to check are http://www.ssiamerica.com/ http://www.neomp3.com.tw/index1.htm Unfortunately I can't remember which set of instructions I used that worked, I tried 'em all! I think the file was USB2IDE26C.zip and the instructions from the SSI America site, using a qide.exe prog or similar. You will need a windows box to do the job, and if it's W98 you will need the W98 driver. Then you have to patch the usb-storage stuff. I used a patch that was on the linux-usb-devel list, but it was wonky and had to be hand edited, for some reason all the variations of this patch had bcs.Tag != bcb.Tag instead of bcs->Tag != bcb->Tag The patch was attached to http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-usb-devel&m=102373791005844&w=2 I found it had various non-translatable characters in it, and that . vs -> bug. So I hand edited the files rather than patching them straigh straight.
