[dundee] Problems with USB mass storage device

Thanks for the help guys

I should have mentioned I'm running Mandrake 8.2 which does have a DevFs
"thing".

Konqueror shows that sda "points to" scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/disc

It was on that basis that I described it as a symblink

Will the MAKEDEV script still work with a devfs system?

Cheers
