I've tried pretty much the same thing with a sony micro vault (not
protected), and no luck here either:

rigel:/home/rossd# lsmod

rigel:/home/rossd# mount -t msdos /dev/sda /mnt

I can see some usb support here, but not sure if it's sufficient or even if
I'm trying to mount it properly.  Bit worried about the "usb-uhci
20708   0  (unused)" bit...

Any points would be appreciated
