I do have scbus et al in my KERNCONF: One of the sandisk cards CF readers is recognized - not all of them are. In particular, those that follow the appropriate USB standards for mass storage devices will work. Those that use proprietary interfaces won't work. Since the umass driver isn't recognizing the drive, it's probably proprietary. This isn't a problem for Windows, as the manufacturer writes the driver. > > device scbus > device da > device sa > device cd > device pass > device pt > options SCSI_DELAY=8000 > device uhci > device ohci > device usb > device ugen > device uhid > device umass > device ulpt > > Anyway, if there's any useful information I can provide to help get > this working, I'll be glad to do what I can to contribute. > Unfortunately, my knowledge in this area is limited. Any > feedback/pointers greatly appreciated. You need to get interface specification out of the driver. If they reference USB standards, that's fine. If it's a supported standard, getting it to work should be straightforward. If not - you're probably out of luck. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
