Hi,
I recently purchased a harddrive enclosure of type "Prolific PL3507
Combo Device", it works fine in FreeBSD 5.4.  It is also a Firewire/USB2
device, I only tried using USB2 tho in fReeBSD, as my FBSD box only has
USB :( so I can't comment on if it works as a firewire device, but USB2
is fine.  Remember, if it doesn't work with your OS, send it back!
