Would appreciate it.
Cheers, Nick
Well not such good news I am afraid, I snagged a clients USB floppy (the sort that comes bundled with a Toshiba A30 (it's actually a Teac drive) ran up a SuSE virtual machine on my trusty laptop.
The USB Mass Storage controller did seem to get assigned to it, however there were loads of what looked like time-out messages followed by a statement by the kernel that the device had been marked off-line. I think with some poking around it could be made to work, unfortunately my client needed the drive back.
When I have my laptop with me again, I can mail you the kernel messages, and I may be able to have the drive for an extended session within the next few days. If I get a chance I will have another play.
I can't help wondering if the Mass Storage driver expects something a bit more responsive than a 3 1/2" floppy !
