USB2.0 External IDE connections

[Brian McCann]

I tried, but I ended up returning the enclosures.  I had a problem
where anytime I would output lots of data to the drive (say 2 PCs
copying a 4gb file to it), the drive would "dissapear" and hang the
system.  Happened on both Windows and FreeBSD though.  IIRC, it was
the newer Prolific chipset.
