HI everybody, I am having problem in "seeing" the partition table of
CompactFlash Reader-Writer CYPRESS (TEC) SM-CF:

I am using RedHat 7.3 (kernel 2.4.18-3 not upgraded, not patched,
just out of the box) with Device Firmware 0.76 Model Name CRV6UCS
(this is a clone of the original device, manufactured by
www.safeway.to which is a very cheap brand of products "designed" in
the netherlands). I am using a KODAK CompaqFlash 16MB, testing on two
laptop machines of different brands. The same. The devices looks
perfectly recognized, only I cannot use it!


I found written on [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s site the following (and he
confirmed that it should work out of the box):

CYPRESS (TEC) SM-CF 
This is my favorite one. I got one with firmware 0.76. Worked out of
box with Red Hat 7.3 as Travel Flash but fast as Phison. Reasonable
speed, cheap, both SM and CF. The only disadvantage is that it does
not have USB B plug but some non-standard one so you need to carry
cable as well. My model name is CR-V6-UCS (or CRV6UCS).



I simply cannot mount any partition. Actually I cannot even see that
a partition is present !
if I do "fdisk /dev/sda" I get:

Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 
sda : READ CAPACITY failed. sda : status = 1, message = 00, host = 0,

512 bytes, disk size 1GB.

!!!@#$%^&*()(*^$######!!!! -Looking from windows it appears as a
single, primary, FAT partition.....


I apologize if something has already being told about a similar
problem, but I have not found it !

I also tried to add: 
options scsi_mod max_scsi_luns=3 
below usb-storage sd_mod

to /etc/modules.conf and run depmod -a (under suggestion given by
[EMAIL PROTECTED]). But Actually Nothing changes.


Best Regards, 

And Hope to hear something soon from some soul willing to help !!!
