Dear Eric, > I have a SYBA VL800 host card too, and it works fine with Seagate > Goflex 500G hard driver (I don't know the solution is same as your > device or not) in 3.3.0-rc3, maybe the FW of host is too old. Can > you confirm the version of FW and upgrade it if it is too old? It is my inderstanding that the electronics in your Goflex 500G enclosure is identical to the the electronic my GoFlex 3Tb, only the harddrives are different. Then I have two questions: 1) how to learn the FW version of the SYBA VL800 contrller card? 2) how to fined the FW and upgrade it under Linux? I found a link http://www.via-labs.com/en/support/downloads.jsp#driver but it contains only Windows driver. Here is my lspci lspci -vvv: ----------- 02:00.0 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
