Yes, OK, I know the answer is "very carefully" :o)
By a fortuitous chain of events I have become the owner of a Castlewood ORB2 2.2Gb removable SCSI drive (plus a couple of removable disks to go with it). Which is nice because now I've got something to hang of that old SCSI adapter card I had lying around (Diamond Multimedia Fireport40).
I've tried it out with Windows 2K and it works a treat (media is currently formatted as FAT2).
GNU/Linux (Debian) picks up the SCSI card and the device OK (i.e. everything shows up in /proc/scsi as it should) with the adapter being scsi0 and the drive is on LUN 5.
I've installed the scsitools package http://packages.debian.org/stable/utils/scsitools.html and run scsidev.
And now I'm stuck, I presume I need to mount the drive with something like;
mount -t vfat /dev/??? /mnt/orb2
but what device name should use (or how do I find out)?

Here I go, answering my own posts now! (only way to get sensible answers? :o) )
spot the deliberate mistake I meant ID 5, LUN 0, i.e. scsi0, channel 0, id 5, lun 0

Subsidiary question: (NB marks will only be awarded is the main question is also answered)
I have 2 IDE disks attached - hda & hdb, so should the SCSI drive show up as sda or sdc?

Making the big leap and assuming all modules have loaded correctly you should be able to mount /dev/sda0 and all will work. Naming is similar to ide.
sd -> scsi disk a -> first disk detected on chain 0 -> partition 0
You can check what scsi devices have been seen by looking in /proc/scsi/ cat the scsi file and you should see all devices that are on the scsi sub system listed. An example from my system.
Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00 Vendor: YAMAHA Model: CRW4260 Rev: 1.0f Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02

Ah! there you have it Douglas, 1st make sure that you have scsi disk support in the kernel (more lumps on the forehead! :o) )
However once you do it all bursts into life, run scsidev and a message pops up saying there's now a disk on sda.
All of which means, as it's an exchangeable device, that I now have to seriously get to grips with automount and autofs, which I have been putting off for too long.
Incidentally there's a rather neat little mini-howto on the subject by Rahul Sundaram over on http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Automount.html
