I use ide-scsi as well (kernel parameter, 2.4.18) and it works well. and it was
0,1,0 before i bought my archos or used usb-storage.

However it is important to turn the jukebox on before plugging in the usb
cable. otherwise there are crashes. In the beginning i just put it the
cable from the dc adapter and thought it would work...
Maybe this is related to the jukebox doing things the kernel doesnt expect.
And it doesnt work with the JE uhci module, I lost the fs on the jukebox
when I used it. But it hang quite a while, so this is probably timeout
related, and not because of data corruption.
