Other than what Søren said, atausb works with some USB flash readers where umass does not (and probably the other way around). E.g. my HP USB printer has a flash reader which works fine with atausb but doesn't work with umass. It could probably be fixed for umass, but I don't really see any reason for me to use time on it. -- Simon L.
