Description: USB 2.0 (1.1 compatible) Flash Drive
1.0 GB / FAT16 file-system
* The file system consumes some space from the drive (around 25 MB)
* Mac OS 9.1.x+, OS X v10.1.2+ compatible
* Works in Linux without tweaking (assuming you have USB support in the kernel!)
* Windows 98SE, 2000, ME, XP (sorry but I had to include it)

Minor unmount problems with 2.4.26 Kernel. Gone with 2.4.27 Kernel

I got a corrupt FS after toying with it & unplugging without unmounting first! so avoid unpluging without unmounting.

Donno if it's the drive's issue or my PC, but sometimes when copying data, the PC freezes untill all data is copied; if you're playing audio, it will continue smoothly!

Sometimes even when the drive finishes copying, its light keeps flashing for a while; wait till the flashing is gone. You can test it with 'umount' !

You might want to use this command if you can't unmount properly:

mount -t vfat -o loop /dev/sdxy /mnt/yourDiskDirectory
umount /dev/sdxy
or
umount /mnt/yourDiskDirectory

Some minor problems with 'umount'
Had to use :: mount -o loop ... in order to avoid unmount issues.
Corrupted the drive once because of unsuccessful unmounts. (never happened to my friends; they also have the same drive & use it over Linux)

Great drive
