I followed teh instructions above, then tried to mount it again as above
and got the same error. However....bit of thinking, I tried mounting it
with mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/flash (no 1 after the sda) and it
works. I had to pop the disk into a Windows machine and re-format it
first (though it WAS formatted as FAT, I re-did it as Fat32).
Many, many thanks.
Now to try the Clie with USB connection......
