Hi Tom As far as I know, if the device is USB mass storage, it is generic. That protocol is just SCSI over USB, so should be as generic as SCSI once was. On Linux, all USB-mass storage devices (including digicams) are supported using only one driver, I guess it should be the same on FreeBSD. If you plug it in, try cdrecord -scanbus to see if it is connected. Good luck Guy On Mon, 2003-09-22 at 02:13, Tom Parquette wrote: > Hi. > I was looking at the Sunday ads and I found a LEXAR JumpDrive at a price > that I could swallow. > I looked at umass and it talks about supporting a couple of models of > SanDisk "dongles" in flash mode. > I do not know too much about these.
