[G4] IDE FireWire enclosure

[Lavode]

I have a no-name (I think its was like Q-Val or something like that but 
the box itself has no info on it) USB 2.0 5 1/4" drive enclosure that 
will work with 3 1/2 and 5 1/4 drives.  I have a 4x DVD-ROM from a 
Sawtooth in it, and that is hooked up to a Yikes 400 running the 
current 10.3 through a CompUSA USB 2.0 PCI card.  It works, but has 
personality.  Specifically, if a disk is in the internal DVR 107 and I 
put a disk in the external drive, it won't mount.  However, mounting on 
the external first and then inserting the internal recognizes both 
disks.

Sorry to not have more info.  Here's what System Profiler says about it:

USB 2.0 IDE Bridge:

Vendor Name:	NEC Electronics
   Product ID:	109 ($6d)
   Speed:	Up to 480 Mb/sec
   Serial Number:	36690001EF
   Bus Power (mA):	500

HTH,
