Generally yes, this type of drive is supported by umass(4). If a particular device doesn't work, try again with a -current snapshot, if it still fails then post back here with a complete dmesg, usbdevs -dv, and as much information as you can give about how it fails. > could not determine from the OBSD i386 hardware information > whether such drives are supported. i386.html: "USB Mass Storage devices, i.e., USB floppy drives and USB memory stick controllers (umass)". I think this could do with s/i.e./e.g./ and maybe add something about other supported devices - it works as you'd expect with most IDE-USB bridges connected to hard drives, CD writers, etc.
