the (updated) story is:
i installled USBview and it see the flashcard reader, which is listed under a
USB device, the details are:
Flash Reader
Serial Number: 000014
Speed: 12Mb/s (full)
USB Version: 2.00
Device Class: 00(>ifc )
Device Subclass: 00
Device Protocol: 00
Maximum Default Endpoint Size: 64
Number of Configurations: 1
Vendor Id: 05e3
Product Id: 0760
Revision Number: 1.13
Config Number: 1
Number of Interfaces: 1
Attributes: 80
MaxPower Needed: 500mA
Interface Number: 0
Name: usb-storage
Alternate Number: 0
Class: 08(stor.)
Sub Class: 06
Protocol: 50
Number of Endpoints: 2
Endpoint Address: 81
Direction: in
Attribute: 2
Type: Bulk
Max Packet Size: 64
Interval: 0ms
Endpoint Address: 02
Direction: out
Attribute: 2
Type: Bulk
Max Packet Size: 64
Interval: 0ms
I have configured it in USB view, which points to /proc/bus/usb/devices
The MS led comes up when I plug in the memory stick
In Konqueror (and nautilus) the device shows up as /mnt/removable
but when i open the folder it is empty
I have checked there are photos/data on the flashcard (twice) it is taken with
a Sony P72
So I'm at a bit of a loss as to why I can't find anything on the flashcard
when i navigate there??
