How to use a USB ATAPI drive in Linux? (figured it out: answer within!)

I think the title says it all. I have a thing that lets you hook up an IDE/ATAPI device (like a hard drive or CD-ROM) to a USB port, and I want to know how to set it up and mount it in Linux. I'm pretty sure it's supported by the "usb-storage" module.

EDIT: I figured it out. It turns out that the USB-ATAPI bridge is considered SCSI, so the drive becomes an sd* device. Thanks to those who would have helped if they saw this. 🙂
