Background:  The Olympus WS-310M digital voice recorder has a standard USB =
interface and uses flash memory to store sound files.  Unfortunately, this =
device only records to WMA files.  I was able to view the filesystem on my =
MacMini without installing any software.  I'm trying to mount it to my Free=
BSD system so that I can use ffmpeg to convert the WMA files to a more univ=
ersally readable format.=0A=0AProblem:  I am having trouble mounting this d=
