Still trying to get an external USB enclosure to work.  I worked out the power issue and am addressing the timing of the drive being ready manually.  The issue I will have is as follows:
 
-    apply power to the drive ; give it a chance to spin up and be ready
-    attach the USB cable and get the following
 
 from /var/log/messages:

Jan 14 12:02:38 pbelk kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2/2, assigned device number 5
Jan 14 12:02:38 pbelk kernel: usb.c: USB device 5 (vend/prod 0x67b/0x2307) is not claimed by any active driver.
Jan 14 12:02:38 pbelk /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: ... no drivers for USB product 67b/2307/100

from cat /proc/bus/usb/devices:


:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=e0 MxPwr=100mA
I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub  ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub
E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=   1 Ivl=255ms
T:  Bus=01 Lev=02 Prnt=02 Port=01 Cnt=01 Dev#=  5 Spd=12  MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 1.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=067b ProdID=2307 Rev= 1.00
S:  Manufacturer=Prolific Technology Inc.
S:  Product=ATAPI-4 Bridge Controller
S:  SerialNumber=0
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr=100mA
I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none)
E:  Ad=01(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=  0ms
E:  Ad=82(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=  0ms
E:  Ad=83(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=   7 Ivl=  1ms
 

So I can determine the Vendor ID:  067b  the Product ID:  2307 and the Revision:  1.00.  How do I specify the kernel to use the usb-storage driver for it?  Will it work at all?
 
TIA
