I might add, that in my Device Manager, there is not even a Jmicron
item or anything listed......not even a SCSI anything. Just my IDE /
SATA drives. There is one SCSI drive within the IDE/SATA listing
though. But no Jmicron items in the list........

Also, my drives are 500GB WD (2 of them). My goal is to do RAID on
this external enclosure, which works fine under USB.
