Cigar Pro 128 meg, based on the OTi chipset does not boot on a ESC K7S5aPro board or anything else I have tried it on, even though it states that it will, and that includes DOS.

Sony Micro Vault USM128E USB 2.0 boots great, nice and fast.

Another one I tried is a Siebel/Microsoft 64mb USB 1.1 that worked with a boot disk, never tried to boot it directly from the device. (I was using this before I got a usb 2.0 device and before my computer had the ability to boot directly from usb, which updating the bios allowed me to do)

Motherboard is Asus A7N8X Deluxe bios rev. 1008.

I got it working on my Ultra 256mb MP3 player (ULT31576)
(http://www.ultraproducts.com/product...._id=225)

I can't figure out how to access the built-in SD/MMC reader - I'm guessing I have to mount it or something - I don't have much experience with USB and linux. Anyone got any hints?

BTW - this is my first try at DSL and already I love it!
