 Understood.  I was using it to read a CF from a digital camera, which
 had msdos FS on it containing the photos.
 
 Perhaps it might be helpful just to point out in the man page that
 various consumer devices would need the "-t msdos" option. And that
 they shouldn't do a newfs on such a card if it already has images,
 audio, video, or whatnot on it! :-)
 
 Thanks.
