Second try at sending attached file requested by Alan.
The memory stick is actually from a sony digital camera and I'm not sure if its
owner formatted it with msdos or not.
However, I can't reformat it, but I can try formatting my own stick, as soon as
I purchase one.
Any suggestions for a good source for 1GB stick, any makes to avoid etc?
Rob.

Attache file shows three pages of output.
I think the stick is in MSdos format, as you suspect.
So what is the solution to the file transfer problem between formats - I have
apple, MS and Linux?
Regards

It seems time to open up a terminal window (that's Konsole in Suse).
After you insert the stick, open the new 'floppy' icon, and get the
error message... after all that, type in these commands in the terminal
window and send the output here:
mount
dmesg | tail -100
That should give us a start to figure out what's going on.
If you're couragous you could look up a line for 'sda' in the mount
output and try to browse that directory.
My guess is the floppy icon is used because the filesystem on the USB
stick is msdos.
