that looks *identical* to the diskonkey i got a year and a half ago.
so much so, that i'd suggest it was rebranded.  anyway, if that is
indeed the case, then it works fine.

    umass0 at uhub0 port 1 configuration 1 interface 0
    umass0: M-Systems DiskOnKey, rev 1.00/2.00, addr 2
    umass0: using SCSI over Bulk-Only
    scsibus0 at umass0: 2 targets, 1 lun per target
    scsibus0: waiting 2 seconds for devices to settle.
    sd0 at scsibus0 target 1 lun 0: <M-Sys, DiskOnKey, 2.01> disk removable
    sd0: 31824 KB, 31 cyl, 64 head, 32 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 63648 sectors
    sd0: no disk label

you can disklabel it, if you like, but i chose not to so that i can
use the plain msdos file system between all manner of machines.  i did
have to overwrite the partition table, though, with a valid one.  the
one that was on the unit when i got it was utter garbage.
