Hi,

I have an ASUS motherboard with an USB gadget, the ASUS ScreenDUO. It's
an independant little lcd screen with buttons, apparently it runs some
kind of OS because it can access the net (e.g. to retrieve RSS) even
when the computer is off - I guess they mean soft-off.

Well, all that is theory because it's under Vista, which I don't have.
Under Linux the ScreenDUO is kind-of recognized: it says it's a mass
storage device, but I can't mount it (the kernel says it's bound to sdc,
but sdc doesn't exist).
I'd like to access it. Does anyone know how that thing works ?

Thanks,
Xav
