Thanks for that information Stephen, I think all should be in order. Regarding the USB 2.0 situation, I understand there is backwards compatability, can I assume my box (which is quite old and isn't USB 2) will still work - but over 1.1 (slower)?

That is a separate module. The USB FileSystem is what you see under /proc/bus/usb (normally, but you can mount it anywhere). So you also need usb-storage. You should probably buy a device that has the USB2 logo on it (you'll see information on the web site about USB2) as this will mean it has passed some tests to make sure it is a standard device. Some others will work but you'd need to check them individually on the Working Device List. BTW, SCSI support should be a set of modules, you'll need the basic SCSI subsystem and at least disk and generic support. regards, Stephen.
