Description Markinho 2002-02-22 17:02:45 UTC

Hi, 

I had a lot of Problem to enable my USB Compact-Flash Card Reader
from Memorex, it is compatible with the Datafab KECF Reader.
On http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=1031 , Mr. Wilk
explains the Problem which this device has. It is the Size of the SCSI
INQUIRY Command. He send me a working patch, in which I added the Vendor and 
Product IDs for this device.

May be it would be nice to add it to the kernel.

This is a driver request, not a bug...... 

This patch belongs in mainline....... or in the -dj branch of 2.5.
