Yesterday I was presented with a Super Talent Ultra Flash USB 2.0
Flash Memory Drive of 1GB. The information cards says it is
compatible with USB 2.0 or 1.1. The information cards also asserts
'Plug and Play and easy to use'. Well, not on my iMac G4 running
OS X 10.2.8.
Visited their website at www.supertalent.com and found a patch for
10.2.8. Downloaded but my Stuffit Expander wouldn't (v7.0).
Downloaded Stuffit upgrade (8.0.2), appropriate for my system and
unstuffed the offending file. Installed the patch. No joy. My
wife's iBook running 10.4.7 can see it in DOS format or MacOS
extended.
Any ideas or do I give my Father's Day gift to my wife?

1. Hang on to it !
2. It's probably formatted in Dos or the likes ( Fat32 ? ) which
is desireable if you
are going from Mac to PC , but not necessary for just Mac .
Mac can normally handle
the Dos , but perhaps your Mac cannot .
So use the ladies Mac to reformat to HFS+ and then see if your Mac
will look at it

Tried formatting to Mac OS extended on the iBook but my iMac still
would not recognise it.
On the iMac after using Disk Utility to format it (DOS or Mac) it
appears on the screen. I can drag items to it and when it is plugged
into the iBook the dragged files are available. Plugging back into
the iMac it gives the message that there are no Mac OS volumes to
read and my options are to ignore, eject or erase!! Ignoring
produces nothing.
When setting up for erasing/reformatting in Disk Utility there is a
line that says: Connection ID unknown. Any ideas at whether this is
the problem? If so, what does one do?
