Hi,

Sorry for the long delay in responding. Pressures of life have caused
a reorganization of priorities, if you know what I mean....

Here's the entire output:

none on /proc type proc (rw)

Here again is the dmesg output:

hub.c: new USB device 00:07.2-1.1, assigned address 4
usb.c: USB device 4 (vend/prod 0x686/0x400f) is not claimed by any

As a new wrinkle in the fold.....

When I tried mounting it this time around, the camera keep making a
"clicking" sound and then issuing the message "Device unmounted".

I re-ran dmesg and got the following output:

sda: test WP failed, assume Write Enabled
sda: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0
I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0
unable to read partition table
Device not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive.

sda: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0

This isn't looking good.....
:-(

Assistance appreciated!
