Too bad... I wonder what it would take, since it works with USB devices, 
and the hardware obviously works.  Maybe it would be as simple as 
pretending to be USB, and registering with the USB stack?  I'm sure there 
are speed advantages to using eSATA instead of USB, although I do wonder 
why they didn't make the connectors more secure.
