PATA-to-USB woes

[Pavel Gorshkov]

I'm looking for a way to connect an old Plextor PX-716A DVD-R drive to
my laptop running 7.2-amd64, however the Vipower PATA-to-USB enclosure I
bought the other day only works as expected with an ancient Teac CD-R
drive, but fails to handle another old CD-R drive (Plextor PX-2410A),
and, finally, it won't even attach properly with the DVD-R drive in
question inside:

23:02:28 kernel: umass0: <vendor 0x05e3 USB TO IDE, class 0/0, rev 2.00/0.33, addr 2> on uhub3
23:02:28 root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x05e3 product 0x0702 bus uhub3
23:04:38 kernel: umass0: BBB reset failed, TIMEOUT
23:05:43 kernel: umass0: BBB bulk-in clear stall failed, TIMEOUT
23:06:48 kernel: umass0: BBB bulk-out clear stall failed, TIMEOUT
23:08:58 kernel: umass0: BBB reset failed, TIMEOUT

Well, it behaves much the same way in Windows XP, so I guess the problem
isn't really FreeBSD-specific.  Could someone please recommend me a
known FreeBSD-compatible PATA-to-USB gadget, either a 5.25" enclosure or
a multi-purpose adapter like Vantec CB-ISATAU2

Thanks in advance.
