Hello Martin, Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate your help!
I was surprised that the enclosure was working under the Linksys firmware but not the Debian firmware. When I discovered the enclosure used the Genesys chipset I did some searches on the Internet for information on this device's compatibility with Linux. I found some posts similar to the one you mentioned but these were several years old and I was hoping support would have been available by now. Regarding your suggestion to "connect the USB drive to a x86 based PC running Debian": I only have virtual machines which are no use in this case and my old PC which runs Debian is not USB2 capable. I might just replace the enclosure which I bought a number of years ago and never really used until now. I was thinking of one of the "icy dock" models. I've seen mostly positive reviews and no negative review about these devices so far. Anyway Thanks again for your help.
