I cannot post dmesg output befcause it starts spewing messages before
any disk is mounted -- I have to shut down and reboot without the drive
plugged in. But see a previous message where I posted some more
information in this thread. But to answer your questions, the enclosure
has its own power and it does work with usb2 -- although I have not
booted with it plugged in in that state, so I will have to check.
