Really? 'Device not configured' usually means it didn't get recognised
by the kernel. Are you sure you are mounting the right device
(/dev/wcd0c, for me anyways).

My Creative 4x works most of the time. I suspect it's the cruftiness
of the drive firmware rather than how fast it goes that determines
whether it will work or not. Maybe this Hitachi is just a little bit
crappier than the Mitsumi?
