Hi Kevin,

The drive was plugged in when I used usbconfig.

When I plug the drive in, the drive makes a powering-up noise, as if it's
trying to align with a disk that may be inside it.
Unfortunately, there are no console messages. I've tried the USB 2 and USB
3 ports, with no change -
the device powers up but there is no console message.

Besides usbconfig, is there another command I can try to probe individual
USB ports?
