That's fine. BTW, Matt is on vacation for 3 weeks, so any
effort to contact him is probably futile.

usbcore creates a mount point at /proc/bus/usb, so the
expected mount is: mount -t usbdevfs {tag | none} /proc/bus/usb
(I usually use tag=usb, but that's not dictated anywhere.)

www.linux-usb.org + Mailing Lists shows 3 archives.
Which one(s) did you look in?

At http://electricrain.com/lists/archive/linux-usb/,
search for "sandisk" (year 2000 is OK). I got 52 hits.
"smartmedia" got 49 hits.
"compactflash" got 23 hits.

We just switched to the other maillist & archive at sourceforge
(geocrawler), so it may not contain any sandisk/smartmedia/CF
mail.

I saw that Doug Gilbert answered some of your questions also.
If you still have some, let me/us know.

~Randy
