Ok here's the deal. I just bought a 128 MB 'Prolific' USB keydrive for
my 500mhz blue imac G3.

www.mittoni.com/usb-drive/

I run mandrake 9.1 ppc (Bamboo) and I can not for the life of me work
out how to mount the damn thing!
When I try:
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
I get the error drive not ready and stuff, (I will post the logs form
/var/log/messages and what ever if you need it)

I have found out that for some reason I don't have any files in
/proc/bus/usb/*

And when I plug it in 'HotPlug' writes a message to /var/log/messages
saying it can't find the module "sd_mod" I have no idea where to get
this. I can't find it on any of the CDs that came with my distro, or
the web.

Any help/comments welcome. PLEASE! help me.

Thanx in advance.
