[ snip ] Anyhow, I will probably start collecting stuff myself, and maybe coordinate with Chris as he locates useful information. I'm sure there's already an archive sitting on a site somewhere - if anyone wants to send me links (or even files) to my email addr directly, feel free. [ snip ] I'm up for that - I've been speaking with Siarzhuk off-list and now have the R5 USB patches and his usb_scsi driver up and running. It detects my USB sticks perfectly so I'm going to start by understanding the various drivers, modules and other components and see where I can go from there.
