How do I mount a (usb) TDK UniFi Audio Player ?
I have a TDK MP3 player now and I am trying to figure out how to mount this on my all SCSI system. Since the usual device map is /dev/sda1 and this device is already used by one of my SCSI disks, what is the best way to figure out this ? In the KDE usbviewerI have this: TDK UniFi Audio Player Manufacturer: TDK UniFi Speed: 12Mb/s (full) USB Version: 1.10 Device Class: 00(>ifc ) Device Subclass: 00 Device Protocol: 00 Maximum Default Endpoint Size: 8 Number of Configurations: 1 Vendor Id: 2735 Product Id: 0091 Revision Number: 1.00 Config Number: 1 Number of Interfaces: 1 Attributes: c0 MaxPower Needed: 20mA Interface Number: 0 Name: (none) Alternate Number: 0 Class: ff(vend.)

The driver will use the next unallocated SCSI device. After you plug the player in, wait a short moment and then do a "cat /proc/scsi/scsi". Your player should show up in the list as a "direct-access" device. Count down from the top, starting from 'a', skipping any non-direct-access devices, then you will be able to tell which device it is. E.g., if your player is the third direct-access device, then it will be /dev/sdc. -Ti -- Ti Kan http://www.amb.org/ti Vorsprung durch Technik

It would appear that your player has not been registered as a SCSI device. Maybe your player is not being recognized by the driver. Have a look in your /var/log/messages for a clue? -Ti -- Ti Kan http://www.amb.org/ti Vorsprung durch Technik

Ti, Not much there for help except the entry. Here's the reference in /var/log/messages (sorry for the word wrap.)

I think the address is simply the USB port number. At any rate that is not important. What's missing from your log file is the registration as a simulated SCSI device.

My guess is that somehow your player isn't being properly recognized and handled by Linux.
OK thanks as this is good help. I will use my son's PC I guess and get some MP3's on it. It's very nice unit with the FM capabilities also. Records voice as well. Merry Christmas, Dee

Not so fast. I've only casually followed this thread. it seems that the hardcore (read smart persons) methods haven't had the desired results so I thought I'd offer my more simplistic method (assuming you have some kde stuff installed). Have you tried finding and mounting the device with kDiskfree? #/opt/kde3/bin/kdf Just thought I'd offer the idea, if its way off base then no harm done. I don't have a "real" scsi system any longer but I'm able to mount and use my usb camera and Neuros media player/drive using this method. Good Luck -- dh Don't shop at ZipZoomFly.com!
