When I boot, I have in '/dev':

I have some new ones (usbdev1.3_ep82 etc). They are discussed here

Can I assume that this is the same as a 'sdb1' for mounting purposes? How to use them.

Scrape the above request for help. If you replied, THANKS.
New information.

Previouly when I booted, and ran 'lsusb' I only showed:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 05e1:0408 Syntek Semiconductor Co., Ltd
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 059b:0370 Iomega Corp.

Then I installed: xawTV, gxine, xine, me TV. One of them triggered something. Because I now have:

Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

A google search for '05e1:0408 Syntek Semiconductor Co., Ltd' leads me to an EASYCAP device.
A google search for '1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub' leads me back to the same device.

Is the 'dmesg' output telling me that my device is mounted on 'usb1'? If so, I also have a 'boot' on an external USB 1TB drive mounted there.

I have 2 devices plugged into the USB Capture Cable shown in the link in the first message. S-video and sound. Both hooked to a Hi-8 Camcorder.
If 'usb 1-1' and 'usb 1-8' are my connections to the camera, which is sound?

Any insight to this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

PS
On another site someone mentioned 'usbmount' and sure enough that was downloaded with the other apps. Maybe that was the trigger.

Back to square one. Further digging:

This is my USB 1TB harddrive.
