I kept seeing a modern switchmode wall wart plugged into an extra drop cord 
that I didn't know what it was supposed to be plugged into, so I chased its 
output cable down just now and found it unused, and that it was a 5 volt 8 
amp supply whose plug fit the alps hub.  So I guess it was the one that was 
supposed to be powering that Alps 7 port usb-2.0 hub.  Plugging it back in 
and unplugging the card reader that was generating all the noise from 
usb-storage, it spun right up, I've mounted it and doing some housekeeping on 
it now.  I've NDI why the card reader keeps trying to tell the system its 4 
scsi drives when it doesn't have a card plugged it.

My apologies to the list for all the noise.
