I apologise if this message has been posted and answered before but I have been unable to find an answer to my problem through reading any of the archived material. I had some delay in confirmation of my subscription somy earlier posting may or may not have reached the list.....
I have a curious problem with a PQI USB2.0 travelling disk. A dying implementation of windows 98 has somehow managed to convince this device that it is no longer a storage device but now a hub instead! Now you might say that the first problem was the bit including the word "windows" but, be that as it may, I was previously able to mount the device as /dev/sda under Redhat 8.0 with minimal trouble. Now that it has been "rebadged" and convinced it is a hub I need to find someway to get around hotplug's idea of what this device is. I wonder if I can edit the bogus vendor and chipset identifiers in the map file and match this with the usb-storage driver through one of the storage device entries? I have yet to give this a try but would welcome any comments or suggestions people might have.
Cheers
James
