Has anyone tried out the M-Systems DiskOnKey Flash disk on a keychain
device?
This device is an 8MB Flash Disk with a USB connector that attaches to your
keychain like you car's alarm fob. When you plug this into your USB port it
should act like an 8MB Disk Drive. I had hoped to use this to hold my SSH
private key, my PGP private key, and a copy of Putty on an MSDOS Filesystem
so I could have the keys and tools needed to access my systems remotely via
SSH.
When I plug the device into the USB port on my laptop the usbd sees it and
loads the umass device. Then I get a drive entry: da0 but any attempt to
access the device times out with a scsi sense error of 0x4. I'm in the midst
of upgrading my laptop to 4.3 Release under the vain hope that the upgrade
will solve the problem. However I wanted to know if anyone else has tried
this device and what luck they may have had.
