Hi Tom, I personally own this gizmo for about $20...
StarTech.com USB 2.0 to SATA IDE Adapter (USB2SATAIDE) -- http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-USB-SATA-Adapter-USB2SATAIDE/dp/B000VS4HDM/ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812200155 -- Works like a charm and provides the power via the pigtail that comes with the Emphase flash module. An alternate approach is to install the Emphase flash module in the Jetway board, then put a fresh AstLinux image on a small USB flash drive, boot from it, and using the serial (or video) console at the RUNNIX "boot" prompt type "shell", this will put you into a shell when you can "dd" the USB flash drive to the Emphase flash module. It takes a while, and you have to be careful, but I have done it. Something like this... At the "Boot" prompt type "shell" (ONLY a guide, decide the /dev/sdX's on your own) -- runnix# umount /mnt/base runnix# dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=64k (it takes about 1 minute for each 128MB of storage, it finishes when the end of either drive is reached or limit the dd to 300MB or so) runnix# exit -- Remove USB flash drive, reboot, and configure as normal.
