Hello,
Previously it has been recommended to get a VE-225 cable
for a variety of uses. I'm trying to salvage the contents
of a hard drive, from a system that will not boot. Grub 1.5
starts up, but it's like there's nothing there.
(The system is so old it does not have bios that allows booting
from any kid of CD). Since I got this new toy, I figured
I'd give it a whirl. It has a usb2.0 port, a connector that
fits right on the hard drive's ide port and a power supply
for the drive, all connected.
The device looks like this in usbview:

I expected ivman to autodiscover the device and I'd just have
to cd into it. Obviously there's a little bit more to it.
The box says the company is cables Unlimited.
Any wikis or such to help me figure out how to use this
device, to extract data from HDs directly,are most welcome.
My keyword to post via Gmane is "dementia" so I'm
feelin lucky.
