Important Notices

(ii) If you plug X-Micro EPIC MP3 Player into the USB port. System can find X-Micro EPIC MP3 Player,
but you are unable to access it. Please FORMAT X-Micro EPIC MP3 Player.
(iii) Before unplugging X-Micro EPIC MP3 Player from the USB port in Windows ME/2000/XP, make
sure you go to the right hand bottom of the screen to stop the USB device. Otherwise, it may result
in losing data that you have saved on X-Micro EPIC MP3 Player. (Please refer to 6.2.)
(iv) Linux uses a so-called "USB Manager", which does automatically load kernel modules (drivers) for
USB devices. It loads only drivers for devices that are present on the USB bus to reduce memory
usage. Per default, the USB Manager does not come with the USB Drive pre-configured. However,
you can easily configure the USB Manager to automatically recognize the USB Drive yourself. Just
add the following to the configuration file,
usbmgr.conf (usually in /etc/usbmgr): vendor 0x11E9 product 0x1004 module scsi_mod,
usb-storage
This line identifies the USB Drive and tells the USB Manager to load the SCSI as well as the USB
storage module. The SCSI module is needed in order to talk to both SCSI and USB storage
devices, while the usb-storage module is needed to talk to USB storage devices.
Do not forget to either reload the USB Manager's configuration or to restart the USB Manager (for instance,
do as root: /etc/init.d/usbmgr reload).
