Many people have told me what to do and/or where to find documentation.
My thanks to you all.

The results:
-starting with Solaris-8 much information can be found with "man scsa2usb".
  and also on the web at http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/806-0636/6j9vq2bth?a=view.
  The site offered more interesting documents.
-Wallimann Stefan told me that the logging (/var/adm/messages) and the command
  "iostat -En" could show me how the USB device was named when I plugged it in.
  I could then mount it with:
     mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2:c /mountpoint
  That worked. A 'df' command showed the mounted USB stick.
-Wout Mertens told me about an entry in the mtoolsrc:
     drive u: file="/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0" partition=1 sync
  That did not work, but probably my mtools version (3.9.6) predates the wide
  use of USB devices.

I still have some problems with it now. But I know now where to look for
solutions. Thanks.
