For an example of how to do this, please see the changes to: /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/umass.c /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs.h /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs_data.h /usr/src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_da.c These changes were just committed to solve the exact problem you are having, instead it was for the MicroTech CameraMate CompactFlash/SmardCard reader. grep -i microtech on those files and look in the vicinity of the hits for the changes. The two .h files don't have to be changed, just run the makefile in that directory after changing usbdevs. Since I don't have a Diamond MP3 player, I can't do this. Although I didn't write the changes for the MicroTech CameraMate, I did learn a bit from the experience testing them, and it really doesn't look that hard once you figure out what is going on. Oh yeah, once you have it working, come back here, and post the patches asking that they be further tested and committed! It can take a little while, but it'll be worth it for the next guy. You may also want to search the archives and see if anyone else has announced patches being available for testing, that's how I came across the CameraMate patches that were just committed as a result of my testing [and asking for them to be committed until a committer noticed I was asking]. I searched the archives, found that someone had done some patches, and advertised the fact asking for others to test them, this was from back in April. A few weeks ago, I wrote him, and asked for a copy, although they didn't go in straight from patch, they were easy enough to put in by hand, and generate -current patches. After testing them out and finding they work, it was just a matter of asking for them to be committed. Welcome to open-source, community-supported operating systems! Should you choose to take this assignment, Matt, the secretary will disavow your actions if you are caught. Good luck! ;^) jim -- ET has one helluva sense of humor!
