Fortunately the Matrox 500GB USB drive I got seems to
work fine. Reformatted it from NTFS to ext3 and now have
a cron job rsyncing gobs of stuff to it every night.

The one thing that confused me a little was that nothing
shows up in the output from "lsusb", but /dev/sdc
certainly shows up, so it must be working. I just put
down lsusb to another linux mystery :-).
