Perhaps the firmware on the drive makes it difficult for it to shift down to
USB2. Try plugging it into a USB2 port on a newer Mac, either a separate USB2
hub or the side of the Apple Wired Keyboard will do. If the drive doesn't show
up then we know it's the USB2 downshift rather than the older/newer operating
system clash.
