Since the drive is 'raw' it should not have a drive letter. This is why

Hi James,
I don't have lsusb on my mac. Here is the system_profiler part for the USB device I'm trying to use:
USB Storage:
Capacity: 2.03 GB (2,032,664,576 bytes)
Removable Media: Yes
Detachable Drive: Yes
BSD Name: disk1
Product ID: 0x0727
Vendor ID: 0x05e3 (Genesys Logic, Inc.)
Version: 2.07
Serial Number: 000000000207
Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: Generic
Location ID: 0xfd360000
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): 500
Partition Map Type: Unknown
S.M.A.R.T. status: Not Supported
Regards,
Anna.
Also, I just plugged in my USB 'stick' and it showed up as four devices
under the /dev directory (you have to be a system administrator AND
access this through Terminal.)
The following is the result of using the ls (list) with the -l (long
format) command for these devices:
brw-r----- 1 <user> operator 14, 10 Feb 19 18:39 disk4
brw-r----- 1 <user> operator 14, 11 Feb 19 18:39 disk4s1
This is the block access (b) and the device is only read/write for me.
crw-r----- 1 <user> operator 14, 10 Feb 19 18:39 rdisk4
crw-r----- 1 <user> operator 14, 11 Feb 19 18:39 rdisk4s1
This is the character level access (c) and the same 'rights' are
bestowed upon the device. You might want to try this with the device
not plugged in and when it is plugged in.
You want to map the 'raw' level (in my case rdisk4) to a drive letter,
if that is what the program requires. Otherwise, and if the program
requires the use of a hardware Windows driver, you are out of luck
trying to get this to work with Wine as it is now.
