I'm having a problem with a USB thumb drive that I used to be able to read and write to with no issues. On two different Macs: MacBook Pro and iMac, it doesn't mount. It doesn't even show up in DiskUtility. The only thing that happens when it gets plugged in is that dmesg shows the line USBMSC Identifier (non-unique): 0x58f 0x1234 0x1. I checked System Profiler and it showed the following for the device:
Mass Storage Device:
Product ID: 0x1234
Vendor ID: 0x058f (Alcor Micro, Corp.)
Version: 0.01
Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: Alcor Micro
Location ID: 0xfa200000 / 2
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): 100
Which to me looks like everything's good. Through some googleing I found out about USB Prober. Someone said that after running USB Prober their drive showed up. I ran the tool, but my drive didn't appear, and it showed this output for my device:

Everything looks like it's all set for a USB drive, I don't understand why it's not mounting.
