Here's a recap.... 

On the way to work I stopped at the neighborhood Radio Shack for a new sd 
memory card and... The Shack didn't have what I wanted... Off to work I go...

Once at work I rummage through the clutter in my office and found a 512meg 
sd/mmc that was left over from a photography effort last year and gave it a 
workout in my new found Lyra RD1071... Didn't work. No way in heck could I 
mount the memory card... After a bit of fussing, I popped the sd into a 
camera and reformatted and once again tried it in my Lyra... still no go. 
Then it dawned on me, stupid me, most scsi devices only have one lun... this 
mini scsi device had two! So after re-compiling a kernel with "probe all 
lun's" enabled... I'm good as gold now.

I mount the 128meg built into the player as /dev/sda1 and the sd memory card 
as /dev/sdb1... Life is now good... 640meg of memory or about 133 songs...

More than enough to get me through the day... maybe even tomorrow too!

Cheers all!
