I am currently converting hddtemp to SG_IO, and I may have found a fix (or rather a workaround) for your problem. It seems that's buggy USB devices don't like SCSI StdInquiry > 36 bytes. I have fixed that in the SG_IO version of hddtemp, but it is not yet functionnal, so I have backported the change to the current version. As I can't reproduce your problem, it would be nice if you could test the new version available on http://temp.aurel32.net/hddtemp Thanks, Aurelien -- .''`.
