Question udev rules - sym links

Hi
I have multiple USB devices plugged into my Ubuntu 8.04 laptop. I am trying to configure it so that when I plug a USB device in a sym link is created so that I don't need to worry about the USB ports getting remapped.

I added a udev rule:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", \
ATTRS{product}=="DISK 2.0", \
SYMLINK+="myUSB"

and I get a sym link myUSB that points to "/dev/bus/usb/004/007" . How do I make it point to /dev/sdb so that I can actually use the device?

(I have tried this with other non-memory devices and it still points to "/dev/bus/usb/*/* and not /dev/ttyUSB*)

Thanks
