Short googling revealed that the Prolific > chip is quite crummy. So the last kernel it worked with was 2.6.11, and that was some time ago. This means it's quite possible the enclosure's USB-to-IDE controller chip has malfunctioned in the meantime, and even if you could put together a 2.6.11 system it still might not work. Under the circumstances, I think your best course of action would be to replace the enclosure.
