A device Question:

[Patrick Turnage]

Hello
With my USB drive, a buslink 80 GB USB 2.0/FW hard drive. 
I usually include SCSI support and SCSI type disk support, and under USB, I
enable the USB controler I have, and then enable the mass storage driver as
a module, so I can load it when I need it. 
Sincerely,
Patrick
