Hmm, you'll find that you get things in usb even if the device isn't supp=
orted=20
becase it can read manufacture and model info as part of the USB standard=
s. =20
Though it makes me wonder why it is seeing it as a disk and not assigning=
it=20
a SCSI device. Have you tried it on win2k? Does it see it as a disk and=
=20
does it need drvers installing? Might be worth doing a google too.
