Is there any point in reporting specific devices that work with umass(4) any more, or is the assumption these days that anything that will work on a Windows or Linux box, without additional drivers, will also work on FreeBSD? The cheapo 'pen drive' that I picked up on ebay yesterday surprised me by just working, with no pain whatsoever... I'm wondering if maybe I shouldn't be so surprised by these small victories :-) If it is true that pretty much everything just works, the manpage and hardware list should probably be updated -- right now the manpage gives the impression that only a few devices are supported. I'll put together a PR unless someone in the know tells me I'm totally wrong about this.

The only time things need to be reported is if they need quirks due to unusual behavior. If it just works, say no more. :)> If it is true that pretty much everything just works, the manpage and > hardware list should probably be updated -- right now the manpage gives the > impression that only a few devices are supported.

Hi there. I have a Sony Microvault (USM 128) that i would love to get to work on fbsd 4.8 stable. When i plug it in the following appears in messages Jun 6 12:07:25 rollo /kernel: umass0: Sony USB Storage Media, rev 1.10/2.00, addr 4 Jun 6 12:07:25 rollo /kernel: umass0: Get Max Lun not supported (SHORT_XFER) The poblem is that for some reason it doesn't connect it to da0. I am using an IDE cd-burner via scsi emulation and that works fine. Jun 6 08:53:21 rollo /kernel: cd0 at ata0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 I am also using an USB mouse without problems, so i guess its not related to usbd. Any clues would be greatly appreciated! // Martin Gumucio On Thu, 5 Jun 2003 20:45:49 +0100 Scott Mitchell <scott+freebsd@fishballoon.org> wrote:> Is there any point in reporting specific devices that work > with umass(4) any more, or is the assumption these days > that anything that will work on a Windows or Linux box, > without additional drivers, will also work on FreeBSD? > The cheapo 'pen drive' that I picked up on ebay yesterday > surprised me by just working, with no pain whatsoever... > I'm wondering if maybe I shouldn't be so surprised by > these small victories :-) > > If it is true that pretty much everything just works, the > manpage and hardware list should probably be updated -- > right now the manpage gives the impression that only a few > devices are supported.

Hello.> I have a device that I'd like to get working, too... it's a Sony Clie > SJ-30.

MS Import "works" just like yours.
