Yep, this is apparently what is happening:
# JumpDrive Elite 256MB
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# sg_inq /dev/sg0
standard INQUIRY:

Any idea why the heck the "Linked" bit (among others---I admit I have next
to no knowledge about SCSI, just trying to apply some "common sense" :-)
is not set for the two other jumpdrives?
Cheers!!
