trouble with samsung drive

[dima]

Hello!
I got the Samsung flash drive last weekend. It looks like a noname one 
marked as "Samsung 128MB, Made in Korea" only. It might be something of 
the K9F28XXX0C series 
(http://www.samsung.com/Products/Semiconductor/Flash/NAND/128Mbit/K9F2816Q0C/K9F2816Q0C.htm).
I tried to get it working on my old laptop on Sunday but failed. It 
could be a problem with the USB hub since it is USB 1.1 & the flash 
drive is reported to be USB 2.0. I searched the web & figured out that 
Samsung chips must be NAND-compatible. I used DiskOnChip 2000 driver 
first, but it failed to probe the device (btw, USB hub didn't report any 
unclaimed devices). Then I tried almost all MTD drivers availble in the 
standard (kernel.org) kernel distribution (v2.4.20) -- none of them 
seemed to probe the device successfully.
So I have 3 questions:
1) Is this a problem with my old USB hub?
2) Which driver should I use if no?
3) I didn't enable SCSI emulation support in the kernel yet (I decided 
to leave it for the next step since the device hadn't been detected). 
Can it be the problem?
