I've had problems with certain eSATA drives not being seen at all - 
where as other types of eSATA drives work fine.

I guess if your eSATA drive also has a USB interface, then try that and 
see if at least the drive can be seen. Although, just because a drive 
can be seen over USB, doesn't mean that the drive will be seen over the 
eSATA port ...
