Hi Wojciech et al,

Yes, but this was only on a USB2 (two) port, and just an auxiliary
information, to show the drive is not dead or otherwise funky.
Once I get it running, I'll put an UFS2 on it.

My goal is to get it recognized on one of the two USB3 ports I have.
All I get there is
Jun  1 11:43:45 hal9000 kernel: ugen4.2: <Jmicron Corp.> at usbus4
Jun  1 11:43:45 hal9000 kernel: umass0: <Jmicron Corp. Usb production, class 0/0, rev 3.00/1.00, addr 1> on usbus4
and after 100 seconds:
Jun  1 11:45:26 hal9000 kernel: ugen4.2: <Jmicron Corp.> at usbus4 (disconnected)
Jun  1 11:45:26 hal9000 kernel: umass0: at uhub4, port 2, addr 1 (disconnected)

There never is a device node like /dev/daN created, like it does
for the USB 3.0 *stick* I have.
