Only some of them are Mass Storage USB devices; the others won't work with Linux, as far as I know. Second, I was never able to get my ImageMate SDDR-31 working with a 2.4.18 kernel. It worked with 2.4.17, and then again with 2.4.19-pre2, and I've had no trouble since then (I'm now on 2.4.19-rc1-ac2). So you might want to try changing kernels if nothing else works. Third, for the USB Mass Storage ImageMates, you need the Generic SCSI and scsi-disk kernel modules loaded, in addition to usb-uhci and usb-storage. Craig
