You will need a USB Mass Storage Device (Transparent SCSI protocol)
driver. No, there
isn't one, though the protocol is well(ish) documented. One would be
very useful as
it would automatically support the vast majority of pen drives, zip
drives, belt drives,
sneaker drives etc..

Subject: [9fans] Help with accessing a USB "storage device"
In my never-ending quest for enlightenment in the plan9 world...
I have a "NEXDISK" (www.nexdisk.com) solid-state disk, under Windows it
appears as a 64M vfat disk partition, using some magic auto-discovered
Windows drivers.
Under linux it is possible to access it via the usb-storage module, then
mounting it with "mount -t vfat /mnt/dongle /dev/sdD0"
Is it possible to access this under plan9.... How would I go about
trying to do this? If it isn't, how can I at least tell if USB support
is working on my plan9 terminal? (or auth server)
usb(4) only seems to mention mouses and audio, is this the limit of
supported devices? I've got an el-cheapo usb webcam at home too, can
these be accessed?
Adrian
So far...
=========
+ CPU/Auth/KFS server now exists (IBM 300PL, S3 variant) - thanks to
Wiki and google - telnet, netkey, woohoo!
+ Thinkpad T21 terminal exists
- Thinkpad cannot use its 3com network card.
