I think the problem here is a compatibility issue with this particular piece of hardware. I have a couple of these, they're EagleTec chipsets, ID 05e3/0702, rev 2. Mine are bare-bone IDE-to-USB adaptor plugs, but I assume the same chip has been used in pre-built enclosures.
It's time I bought one of these enclosures and installed Debian on a box...
The cheapest place I know to get these in the UK is ebuyer, try this link: <http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?product_uid=43759>
This is the bare adaptor I use, under �30 and actually very handy. Also works perfectly on Windows :-/
I bought mine at Maplins and paid a bit more, they're currently "on offer" there at �29.99 on the home page. A bit more than ebuyer, but I'm not sure how postage costs compare - or maybe you've got a local Maplins.
I've also seen them at computer fairs, don't remember how much was being asked though.
I'd certainly be interested to hear someone else's experience with these devices. Keep us posted!
