SanDisk ImageMate, P/N SDDR-31, works exceptionally well. Just start usbd and plug it in. Dmesg will say something like this when it appears: umass0: SanDisk Corporation ImageMate CompactFlash USB, rev 1.10/0.09, addr 2 umass0: Get Max Lun not supported (STALLED) da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: <SanDisk ImageMate II 1.30> Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 650KB/s transfers da0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present Only "problem" here is when you have SCSI drives which are not "wired" in your kernel configuration. The USB SanDisk may pre-empt da0 on boot so your /etc/fsck is out of kilter. BTDT. SCSI disks needed to be wired in place anyhow but I've managed to go 8 years without. I thought it was a 1.0 MB/sec device on my Macintosh or somewhere. Maybe with a different USB interface under FreeBSD? Plugged into my G4's keyboard and asking what Apple System Profiler says, it only says, "Device Speed: Full."
