Hmmm... that may have been from actually unplugging the thing...

I have it turned on... guess I sent the wrong messages (I sent the ones
from dmesg...)
It's still unable to read from the disk. I've popped the disk in and
out a couple of times here, and tried several other commands:
[jon@frogbog ops-manual]$ sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt -t msdos
mount: No medium found
[jon@frogbog ops-manual]$ fdisk /dev/sda
Unable to open /dev/sda
[jon@frogbog ops-manual]$ dd if=/dev/sda of=testfile
dd: opening `/dev/sda': No medium found
[jon@frogbog ops-manual]$ mt -f /dev/sda offline
/dev/sda: No medium found
OK, now here's the output of dmesg from when I hooked the drive up. As
of this moment it's not disconnected...
