Kevin, I purchased an 8Mb DiskOnKey device last week from PC World here in London for 10 GBP kast Thursday. I attempted to get the device to work simply byhacking its VID and PID into /src/sys/dev/usb/umass.c, but no joy. The device appears to be a BBB/SCSI-transparent one according to its configuration descriptor. After attempting to attach CAM, commands time out and are then refused - the device does not respond to SCSI_INQUIRY. There are a few further tips and tricks which I can perform, such as 6-byte command conversion within the SCSI stack. I will probably attempt to pin down further details of why the device isn't responding; I will be sure to let you know.
