I just bought a 120GB SimpleTech USB harddrive and I want to use it with FreeBSD 4=2E8 (the=20 HDD is part number STI-U2F35/120)=2E AFAIK, 4=2E8 doesn't support USB HDDs= =2E Why is this? If it is possible to write the drivers for this, I've got a couple of questions:=20 Who does the USB mass storage drivers? Where in the kernel do I need to look for information on writing them? Is the drive supported in 5=2E1 (I'm not sure what chipset it's using)? If= so, how hard would it be=20 to backport (or should I forget it and just upgrade to 5=2E1 with my lazy ass)? How badly am I going to screw up the HDD when my driver doesn't work? ;) Hope there're some ideas out there :) Thanks!
