I don't have rescan-scsi-bus.sh, but Google is my friend...
fdisk -l /dev/sd* shows nothing at all, just returns directly to the prompt. fdisk -l by itself shows all my HD partitions.
I haven't run mkfs on anything yet, since there appears to be nothing to run it against.
Thanks for the suggestions, everyone :)

The kernel recognises the "disk", if you can't get it to go, I suspect your're doing something silly. You expect it to be /dev/sdb, you can also try /dev/sdb1 to 4. Try running rescan-scsi-bus.sh (your problem to get it if your dstro doesn't have it) as root after plugging in the module and before trying to mount. Reading a block from /dev/sdb with dd must work. Does fdisk -l /dev/sdb show a partition table? I believe it probably should. Run mkfs.msdos on all suitable /dev/sdb* until you find the one which works. It really should be either sdb (no partition table) or sdb1 (first primary). You can even partition /dev/sdb, but whether that increases your M$-compatibility is another question (under Linux it'll work either way, hey you could even mkfs.msdos /dev/hda - kids, don't try this at home).
