This looks like a familiar device.  Last I tried it (on my side gig),
it worked.  Had to reboot the machine to get it to work because it stopped
recognising removable media (no buffer space available) at some point.

Indeed.  Well, for what it's worth, I got one working at said side gig.

I ran into some interesting problems, though:

- I couldn't rip the image from the CF and vnd-mount it
- An image created with a vnd would not work on the CF.

...which was a real pity.
