   Should you not just return it as not being fit for purpose?   
      
   I'm not sure how much help, if any, the following will be, because it's   
   not quite the same sort of thing that you've bought, but I have an   
   external drive bay based on an JMS56x chip, and by and large it works   
   fine.  In Windows, occasionally it doesn't register when I plug it in,   
   but that doesn't happen very often, and usually unplugging it, removing   
   ghost devices from Device Manager in Windows, and plugging it back in   
   will get it to work.  AFAICR, I've not had any problems with it under   
   Ubuntu.  Perhaps I should note also that I've not tried to use all the   
   functionality of it, for instance using it to copy disks directly.
