I've tried one of those things that is little more than a cable with USB
plug on one end, IDE plug on the other. It worked on Windows but was
very unreliable on linux (from memory it was going very slowly - maybe
it had detected as a USB 1 device?). That was 9-12 months ago (so a
2.6.x kernel) and I've not tried it since.
