I am trying to get an acomdata usb 80GB drive to work. I have a desktop
machine running 2.6.11.2 kernel, debian sarge with hotplug and udev.
When I connect the drive, I get the following message in syslog:

Jul  9 09:54:15 corum kernel: usb 5-3.3: new high speed USB device using 
ehci_hcd and address 11

Jul  9 09:55:10 corum kernel: usb-storage: device scan complete


When I connect the drive to my laptop which is running the 2.6.12 kernel
I get an additional entry that shows the kernel creating /dev/uba. The
device drive has a button on it that allows the proprietary windows
software to do automatic backups or something, so I assume that is what
is registering the hiddev, but I am not sure. 

My problem is that I cannot mount the drive. It has a fat32 filesystem
on it, and verified that it works on my work laptop which runs windows
XP. Here is some more system info:

corum% cat /proc/scsi/usb-storage/13
   Host scsi13: usb-storage
       Vendor: DMI     ?;q$*?
      Product: Unknown
Serial Number: 00101005500080CA0
     Protocol: Transparent SCSI

       Quirks:

E:  Ad=83(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=  64 Ivl=64ms

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I have tried mounting the
drive using /dev/sda, sda1, etc, even uba, but no luck. Any help or
requests for more info would be great. Otherwise, back to Fry's goes the
drive ;-) If that is the case, any recommendations for a good portable
USB drive?

Thanks.
