Biggest issue with USB-to-IDE I think is speed. The USB port on the FoxBoard is
1.1 12mbps only. If you wire it up parallel, you can get much higher speeds,
perhaps even DMA?

I used to connect an old IDE hard disk to my fox using a cheap IDE/USB
adapter (it costs a few euros) and it works fine. It's also "plug and
play". This only small problem I had was the electric needs of the hard
disk. That's why I use a PC alimentation du power the fox and the hard disk.
