I did not see such a line, and am unable to copy files across to an ntfs
partition.. and the only floppy I have is the boot floppy for safety..
but I checked the output over very carefully, and that lines doesn't
show. And I think I have an idea why.

I ran harddrake2 and the speedtouch didn't show up in it.
I also ran usbview - on a hunch, and it said that it oculdn't find
/proc/bus/usb/devices and suggested I make sure I had usb support
compiled into my kernel.
I'm using the default mdk9.0 kernel, so it's probably just that usb
modules or something haven't been loaded.
Not sure how to do this.
Once I can get the speedtouch actually recognised, I'll try the ideas to
get it working.. as to how to get it recognised... seems I need help
still :)
