Nope, can't find it either. A lot of posts on the net regarding the 
device not accepting address 6 give an error -110. However, in the next 
line that the USB device was happy with address 7, and gives your the 
number of sectors (61440), and block size (512), then it references a 
uba1 device.

I haven't the foggiest what a uba1 device is, but have you tried doing 
an 'fdisk /dev/uba1' ?

You can get a list of what it can see on that device (provided fdisk can 
see it), by using 'p'.
