Exactly. It's called a Juke Box. You stick in a quarter, press a letter
and number, and an arm grabs the appropriate USB stick and inserts it
in the computer's usb slot.


    The mechanism could be used also to backup on a hard disk. Hard 
disks are currently the safest backup method, provided they are run 
periodically, but not continuously; this leads to connect them only for 
the duration of the backups, and it might be used on remote servers. In 
this case, better play with the power supply of the disk than 
insert/extract the usb plug.

[DNG] Devuan on Raspberry Pi 3B+. Sound card driver installation.

Searching for installed kernel modules using locate I found the actual
modules for the DAC are installed. However, using modprobe did not
result in the modules being loaded. Modprobe complained with the
error:

modprobe: FATAL: module name not found in directory /lib/modules/4.16.12-v8+

After that I used depmod to create the necessary module dependencies,
but failed again to successfully load the modules.

To arrive at the this point I consulted the IQaudIO manual for the DACs.
