I bought a USB CF reader/writer.  When I plug it in, the system sees it
as:

 kernel: umass0: VIA Technologies Inc. USB 2.0 Card Reader, rev 2.00/0.03, addr 2

but no matter what I do the system cannot see the CF disk in the unit.

I then tried the same card in an older device:

 kernel: umass0: mediaGear Transport USB2.0 9 in 1 Reader , rev 2.00/1.28, addr 2

It sees the card just fine.  I am able to fdisk the card and slice it up
the way I want.  (I still need to newfs it, but that's a job for tomorrow.)

How difficult will it be to get the VIA dongle to work with FreeBSD?

Harlan
