How do I mount a Freecom Cable II USB hard drive? (It's a slightly

specifically covers that tiny detail, and the freecom.com site
is... unhelpful. Ditto with the manual. Searching through the
Google archives of this group (and alt.linux) don't give any
useful results, nor does searching the web.

When it's connected, it doesn't show up as /dev/sd* (I expected it
to be sdb), nor does it appear as /dev/hd* or /dev/fd* (neither of
which I expected, but it doesn't hurt to check). Fdisk -l doesn't
list it. It appears in /proc/bus/usb/devices (extract below at
[1], if it helps), and it shows up as /proc/scsi/usb-storage-1/1
(details below at [2], if it helps), but I'll be damned if I know
how to use that info to actually mount the stupid thing.

I'm running kernel 2.4.35 (Slackware 10.1) if it matters. Yes, I
*did* enable Freecom support in the kernel. (Please don't tell me
that the solution is to move to 2.6; I've got unrelated issues
there that I'm working on, separate from this.)

Could it be that the disk is formated in NTFS? Perhaps an internal
conection problem...

FAT32. Windows sees it just fine.
