Thanks for the idea. I powered up the device and plugged it all in, and
then rebooted my machine. Following is the output of "dmesg |grep -i usb"
My new Vantec SATA/IDE to USB 2.0 Adapter is not being recognized under
etch. Or, maybe it is being recognized, and I'm just not seeing it.
Where would I look on my system for such a device? This device plugs
into my USB port, and on the other end I plug in an IDE drive that I
