Maybe the short version was too short. :-) The CF is behind a SanDisk ImageMate (I have two different ones), which emulates SCSI according to dmesg. I don't know if they use BBB or CBI. I don't know what the difference is either. :-) ######## umass0: SanDisk ImageMate CF-SD, rev 1.10/0.12, addr 2 da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: <SanDisk ImageMate CF-SD1 0100> Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device da0: 1.000MB/s transfers da0: 61MB (125440 512 byte sectors: 0H 0S/T 0C) umass0: at uhub0 port 1 (addr 2) disconnected (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): lost device (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): removing device entry umass0: detached umass0: SanDisk Corporation ImageMate CompactFlash USB, rev 1.10/0.09, addr 2 umass0: Get Max Lun not supported (STALLED) da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: <SanDisk ImageMate II 1.30> Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 1.000MB/s transfers da0: 61MB (125441 512 byte sectors: 0H 0S/T 0C) ######### John -- John Hay -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
