progress on 900 hack; and a hint

Hi all,
I managed to miss my train home, so I am staying on vacation a little longer than expected

I built the newest Slackware release on a virtual box here and reinstalled my tool base from home, so I'm online finally!

A surprise hit; the Sony registered four memory devices sdb,c,d,e on this system, where it only registered one on my older Slackware 12.2 release; eg: the ebook memory directory, but not the Linux root directory,

The intermediate sdc,sdd are "MS" and "SD" slots, sdb is the basic ebook user memory/data, and the last directory is labeled "Launcher".
When I look in launcher, I see a "Mac" and "Windows" directory and this is pertinent:

Code:
ls -R *

When I take a look at the lsusb -v, I notice the ID is not PRS-900 but
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 054c:031e Sony Corp. PRS-505 reader

I didn't see this before, and don't have time to tinker around today -- but it looks like something might have updated after all; unless that PRS-505 is an artifact of my Slackware distro or something, all the flash hacks seem to have PRS505 stuff internally suggesting this directory is an update of some kind.

hmmm.....
