Before the firmware update, the D2 was accessible as 4GB storage device
under Linux.  I couldn't test then with an additional card because I
hadn't an SD card.  I even used Linux to upload the firmware update to
the built-in flash.

Windows 2k and OS X show two harddisks if a card is inserted.  Without
card, OS X shows one harddisk, while Windows 2k still exposes two drives
of which one is empty (like it does with empty USB card readers).

BTW, Linux doesn't exhibit the "access beyond end of device" behaviour
if I put the card in a regular USB SDHC card reader.  The reader reports
the card sizes as 15,758,336 sectors, while the Cowon D2 states the card
size as 15,728,160 sectors --- 30,176 sectors less.

$ cd /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-8\:1.0/
$ echo ep*
ep_02 ep_81 ep_83
$ cat ep*/type

So there are two "Bulk" endpoints.  Does this matter?

The SCSI host associated with device 1-8:1.0 contains one target and the
target contains one logical unit.  I'd expect to get two logical units,
perhaps two targets, perhaps two SCSI hosts.
