Description: BUSlink USB hard drive
The BusLink USB-HD uses a Prolific 2307chip which is a USB-ATAPI bridge. According to Prolific the PL-2307 has the following features:

Full compliance with the Universal Serial Bus Specification

Support ATAPI-4 PIO and PACKET commands and Master/Slave Multiple Drives

Downstream data transfer: Up to 700 KB/sec

Use the usbide driver module from http://bravin.home.cern.ch/bravin/usbide/usbide.html
untar the package and read the INSTALL file. Follow the instructions there.
Works with kernel-2.4.22
NOTE: Some errors ARE displayed when make install is done. This does not seem to be a problem as of yet. The driver mod works as stated. Drive can be accessed from the console or GNOME. To use as a $USER on the system other than root insure you set the proper permissions for the directory. I would suggest further investigation to mount this drive in the /home area for security reasons. It mounts by default to /mnt/pda1 (built in)
