FWIW, I have two other IcyBox'es, the IB-251U and IB-270U. Used with
FreeBSD 6-stable and 7.0-current, not tested with 4.x.

IB-251U:

Storage Device, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 3

from 'usbdevs -v':
 port 6 addr 3: high speed, self powered, config 1, USB2.0 Storage
Device(0x6830), Cypress Semiconductor(0x04b4), rev 0.01

IB-270U:
from /var/log/messages:
Aug 14 01:39:36 kg-work kernel: umass0: Cypress Semiconductor USB2.0
Storage Device, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 3

from 'usbdevs -v':
 port 6 addr 3: high speed, self powered, config 1, USB2.0 Storage

Both units work fine, as far as I can tell-
