Yes, these flash memory sticks are standard usb mass storage devices,
handled by the Solaris 8/9 scsa2usb (or usba10_scsa2usb) driver.

I suggest to install the latest USB patch...

- Solaris 8: 109896-24 SunOS 5.8: USB and Audio Framework patch
- Solaris 9: 115553-06 SunOS 5.9: USB Drivers and Framework Patch

.... and if possible, reconfigure the system to use all USB ports with
the new USBA 1.0 framework, see the "Solaris USB Dual Framework Guide"
at http://www.sun.com/desktop/whitepapers.html for details (page 7 /
page 9).

I have a Sony MicroVault and there is no problem by Solaris 8.
mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/<device>:1 /mnt

thanks, juergen.

In the past, running usba1.0 only was not officially supported but
now it is and highly recommended. Note that on s10 SX, we only
have usba1.0 drivers and no dual framework

the next SX release will have usba2.0 with all USBA driver
interfaces now part of the DDI

A new DDK (2.0) is in the works

IIRC, that was supposed to happen Sometime Soon (hopefully with an
option to disable it in environments where it wasn't desirable for any
random user to download all the goodies); although I haven't seen any
evidence that it has happened yet.
