It may not need direct support. When you plug it in, udev should create
a /dev/sd* node for it and report this in /var/log/syslog.
At a command line, run:
$ tail -f /var/log/syslog
and plug in the drive.
See what shows up, then mount the drive.
If you're trying to use a desktop environment to do this, hopefully
someone who as run a DTE will know.
