(I'm posting this from a mail-to-news gateway so I hope this works)

Indeed, the 'b000' devices do not work with the existing Datafab
driver.  They actually appear to be real SCSI-over-USB devices instead
of Datafab's older ATA-like devices.  As such, there's no way the
existing Datafab driver can work with these guys.

In fact, the usb-storage module detects 'b000' readers as SCSI
devices and not "Datafab" devices (and therefore doesn't even try
to invoke the Datafab driver).  But obviously usb-storage's existing
transparent SCSI protocol is not quite compatible and things go
downhill from there.

I don't have one of these readers so I'm probably not going to be able
to make much progress in supporting them.  Anybody know of a place where I
can buy one for $CHEAP?
