Some of the newest OS releases, 11.23, 11.31 do recognize the device as a disk but there is not much you can do with it. The problem is that these pen drives usually have a windows or NTFS filesyatem on them and HP-UX can not use it.

Really?

There exists a program called "mtools" which
can be used to work with a FAT file system
(originally on floppy disks, but it's more
capable now). (I use it on VMS. I haven't
tried it on HP-UX.)

So, if HP-UX really could see a FAT-formatted
USB flash EEPROM device as a disk, then there
might be some hope of dealing with files on
it.
