Hi all. I just got from a friend one of those things that you can put an ide drive into, and hook it up to the usb port. He gave me a hard drive too. I enabled in the kernel usb section the 2 different choices that there are for an atapi to usb bridge, and loaded the usb-storage module. It tells me though after I turn on the usb hard drive thing that the product and vendor id is not claimed by any active driver. My /proc/bus/usb/devices is below. T: Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 2 B: Alloc= 0/900 us ( 0%), #Int= 0, #Iso= 0 D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 0.00 S: Product=USB UHCI-alt Root Hub S: SerialNumber=c000 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=40 MxPwr= 0mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.)

BTW, I am using linux 2.4.21. Thanks in advance for any help. Greg -- Free domains: http://www.eu.org/ or mail dns-manager at EU.org
