Imation USB Super DISK Drive

[Crackmunch]

I have a USB super disk drive that I want to use. I have three 120mb disks but they are mac formatted. I would like to get the informaiton off of them first and save it to my computer.

Since this drive also doubles as a floppy on boot where would it mount? I did some searching on here and found that usb devices mount in /dev/sda I think.

Does linux even support the drive? I will be using Knoppix for this.

Thanks

you will need sd_mod, and usb-storage loaded or in your kernel to be able to see the drive, in addition to the other normal USB modules.

the device will be created as /dev/sda<some numbers>

usually the first device is the Partition information, and the second is the actual data... i.e. /dev/sa1=partition info, /dev/sda2=first data partition, or in the case of an iPod, dev/sda1 is the firmware.

if they are mac formatted you will need the HFS module(s) as well.

any USB or IEEE1394 (firewire) drive should work.
