The onetouch button that gives the drive its name should work in the
sense that you can bind any action to it. Citing
drivers/usb/storage/Kconfig:
,----
| config USB_STORAGE_ONETOUCH
| tristate "Support OneTouch Button on Maxtor Hard Drives"
| depends on USB_STORAGE
| depends on INPUT=y || INPUT=USB_STORAGE
| help
| Say Y here to include additional code to support the Maxtor OneTouch
| USB hard drive's onetouch button.
|
| This code registers the button on the front of Maxtor OneTouch USB
| hard drive's as an input device. An action can be associated with
| this input in any keybinding software. (e.g. gnome's keyboard short-
| cuts)
|
| If this driver is compiled as a module, it will be named ums-onetouch.
