Hi, Yes I tried mounting /dev/sda1 and also tried using my devfs (gentoo) box to see which device was created and it had created /dev/sda too.
The device is also a card viewer, meaning that it shows you contents of the drive on the screen so that you can do an 'ls' type listing on it. Interestingly, it shows it's drive as A:\ which leads me to believe that this is a floppy like device and it 'should' be FAT16 on sda. Someone has mentioned that when the flash card gets inserted into the device, the unit 'touches' the card which makes it unreadable on a normal flash reader. However, once the card has been formated using another flash reader, it still workds fine in the device and gets 'touched' again. Could this be doing something to the boot sector or parition table on the card ? Are there any options when mounting FAT drives that can accomodate this ? Are there any other filesystems that these things convert cards too ? Thank's again.. Donovan On Sun, 24 Nov 2002 08:22:25 -0800 (PST) "Stephen J.
