I do have my own kernel, brought all the scsi back again when I saw a 
post mentioning it, but made no difference. Even tried the generic 1.6 
kernel but it does the same. (umass found, then empty line).

I suspect the IBM microdrive in it isn't directly visible, but behind a 
Ricoh layer or something. The camera itself also has internal storage 
(8megs?).

Just thought I'd give it a try to see if it would work, but I suspect it 
will never work unless Ricoh give out some information regarding it.
