To the guy whose name I cannot remember from the workshop. You had usb harddrive.
With the drive plugged in take a look in /proc/bus/usb/devices. It shows the vendor and product id of the device. Theres also a good database of usb linux experiences at www.qbik.ch you can search on vendor id, click the search link, it doesn't seem to work in quick search. (the vendor id is a 4 digit hex number)
