I bought (based on http://www.sun.com/io_technologies/PCI.html) a
AUA 4000A USB2.0 4 port Host Controller to use with my U30 running
Solaris 10. Do I need to use the usbconfig script with Solaris 10?

As I test, I connected a USB external HD (i.e. an IBM deskstar IDE drive
in a USB/firewire case. Works fine under OSX and XP) to the card. This
is what I see:

No removable devices found or no media in the device.

Any reason I cannot connect to the drive?

Volmgmt should have found it, really.

Try "cfgadm -lv".

Look for messages in /var/adm/messages

Hmm, shuldnt be any problem.
If you use CDE it should pop-up automaticly on the desktop...
