Yes, I could have seen that, but I did not notice the line wrap in de kernel messages It looks as if the devfs subsystem in the kernel isn't getting all the info it needs to create the correct device node in the /dev/scsi filesystem, so it goes with the default case, which (I believe) is to assume it must be a "scsi generic" device such as a scanner or such. I guess so... I hope someone can tell us what information is missing in devfs.... Interestingly, cdrecord sees it as a removable drive. I'm not sure what it does when it scans the scsi busses, but it must do some polling of the scsi layer. Nice ;-) Herald

trying to get Dane-Elec Zmate CF to work
by Darin Smith 31 May '02

31 May '02

I initially sent this from the wrong account. Here goes try #2: I have a Dane-Elec Zmate CF-only reader, which uses the same chipset. It is 0x4e6 / 1010 / 5 I checked out the latest usbat-02 from cvs and built it. It appears to be finding my card, but I am having trouble mounting since I use devfs (Mandrake 8.1). Here is the relevant data from /var/log/messages: May 29 08:25:49 mynock kernel: Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...

new driver of Thomas Keiling in CVS
by Herald van der Breggen 26 May '02

26 May '02

I just have put the new driver of Thomas Kreiling into CVS. I have created a new directory for it with the name "usbat-02". So if you have set your environment variables a cvs co usbat-02 should do.... The source can also be taken from Thomas' page: http://www.sm04.de/sm04/index_en.html I tried it with the Kodak device device and it worked like a dream! :-) I just have sent a message to the usbat2-anounce mailinglist of sourceforge. Which is moderated by.... Chris? Well.... lit's hope he likes it ;-) Herald

beta-tester for zio-cf reader wanted !
by Thomas 25 May '02

25 May '02

hi there, first of all many thanks to Chris Niekel and Herald van der Breggen for the usbat2 (Kodak) driver, Robert Baruch for the shuttle_usbat driver, Jimmie Mayfield for the Lexar "Jumpshot" driver. I'm very busy at the time, but i've rewritten the driver for the zio-cf reader last weekend and now still searching for beta-tester (other platforms like sparc / alpha very welcomed). The source is still in beta state, installation instructions are at a very basic state. Anyway ... if you are able to configure and compile a Linux kernel, you are welcomed to beta-test the zio-cf driver. I planned to release a public beta in June, pre-testing welcomed - maybe we should add the new driver to sourceforge. Thomas btw: my keyboard seems to be in a rather defect state ... some keys are missing from time to time ... any suggestions ?
