To answer the easy questions. Ubuntu 7.0.4, and it's a 20Gb Fujitsu MHR2020. formatted to FAT32 of 2003 vintage. It doesn't appear on the desktop. In Ubuntu do you get any type of audible clue like Windows does when you connect / dis-connect USB devices? As for the logs , I'll do that tomorrow

I had a quick look John, and I can't seem to turn up an Open Source program for blood sugar monitoring. I'm guessing it's a serial/usb port connection that connects the device to the computer and then stores the readings? You can Windows software to run on Linux however. 1) Try WINE. This is a W
