Hehe, yes, I kind of guessed the answer would be something like that. Oh well, never mind. I bought it off FleaBay and it did say Windows/Mac but I figured something as basic as a ATA->USB bridge should be OS agnostic - to be fair it is, as it sees the disk and creates devices for it, it's just that the USB interface is not standards-compliant. I fired up the Mandriva Linux Live CD and tried it. Linux found the disk, created devices for it - then did a USB reset and the devices disappeared. Might have a word at work and see if they'll swap it with the one I borrowed that does work. Thanks for your help guys. Regards, Mark
