Subject: [9fans] Help with accessing a USB "storage device"
Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2002 10:21:03 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <84adkchlc4.fsf@smtp.monash.edu.au> (raw)

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.
