It might help you. Some of the cheaper enclosures use USB->ATA bridge chips which aren't handled by the standard umass driver. Before anyone asks, these are evil, and don't talk SCSI/UFI/etc, they talk ATA task file register over USB, so branching off ata is more appropriate; I should be able to leverage most of the existing ATAng code base for this.
