Erm -- this looks like it's a device to mount different sorts of media
(CompactFlash, SD, etc.) Is it anything like this:

In which case, it probably has four slots for the different media types,
and these show up as different devices in Linux. Which one you use would
depend on what sort of media you were trying to read -- all I can
suggest is trial and error.

Try for sdb, sdc and sdd. Try
fdisk -l /dev/sdx
in case the medium comes with a partition table.
Good luck!
James.

It's an IOMEGA 60GB USB external Hard Drive.
I tried sdb, sdc and sdd and it says,
mount: No medium found.
When I try
fdisk -l /dev/sdx (I aslo tried sda, sdb, sdc, sdd)
nothing happens, no messages or anything.
The USB hard drive is FAT32, could that be an issue?
Jim
