Has anyone gotten a Secure JumpDrive (256MB Lexar USB) to be writable
under Linux? It's recognized immediately and is easily mountable, but
is detected as write protected and will not mount -w.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks Mike, but that's not the problem. It's write protected and
though it's detected fine and mounts fine for reading it will not allow
mounting for writing. I'm totally familiar with /etc/fstab and the
mount utility and there's just nothing there that can override write
protection. This can only be addressed by a proprietary driver which
will not run in Linux. I'm returning it for the non Secure model.
