USBIDE is Enrico Bravin's module for use with the Buslink Gb hard drives using the Prolific 2307 chip as an ATAPI-USB bridge. It's available at http://bravin.home.cern.ch/bravin/usbide/usbide.html
I've looked at this driver, the usb-skeleton driver from the kernel and the usb mass storage driver and it's pretty rough and ready. I mean no disrespect to Mr. Bravin, but it's not quite the polished thing that these others are. Furthermore, there have been changes to the usb subsystem in the 2.5 kernels which now appear in the 2.6 series that make this driver uncompilable, as far as I can tell. Anyway, I'm not sure how many folks are using this driver and I was wondering if I was the only one who had tried to compile it.
