I lack the knowledge to identify *relevant* output; however, I ran 'lsusb 
-v' both before an attempted "mount" and when the tablet had been plugged 
into a USB port and the "mount" had failed.  Then I ran a "vimdiff" on 
the 2 output files. Both commands generated 328 lines of output and the 
outputs were identical.

As indicated in my reply to Daniel Pittman, I believe I have a "hardware 
problem".

Thank you for the interest in my problem.
