Apparently, they interpret it as "Unspecified Serial Bus", since they all seem to go their own way. I have a Microtech Zio flash card reader which is too large for a keychain holder and too small for a paperweight. It is recognized by the "ugen" driver as "SHUTTLE SCM Micro USBAT-02" and usbdevs -v reveals its ID as 04e6:1010, so I know it's there (but then, I knew that, as it was me that plugged it in :=). The Linux folks seem to spend a lot of time playing with (or looking for) specialized drivers for USB devices; you may be able to get some clues at http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=536 > For what it's worth, win2k didn't require any special drivers, or > anything--it seems to be generic umass.
