 OSR507: Add then remove external USB hard drive System: Gateway GP6-350, IDE primary master hard drive, IDE secondary master CD-R, 128MB RAM, external USB Maxtor OneTouch hard drive Software: SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 Desktop with MP1/UP1 followed by MP3/UP3. In playing around with this test system, I noticed that mkdev hd has options to install the USB drive but not to remove it. How does one permanently remove a USB drive from the hardware configuration after it's no longer wanted? I've searched the man pages, onboard help, and online sources, including SCO's TA area (public & member) to no avail. Any guidance appreciated. DDinAZ      |

There's a TA on how to remove a SCSI hard disk. USB is treated as SCSI (the USB options in the various `mkdev` scripts are just thin user interface sugarcoatings over the SCSI code paths). So the SCSI TA should work; you might have to do a little mental translation of terms. >Bela< |
