<a href="http://www.jmicron.com/Product_JM20336.htm">JMicron USB to (S)ATA bridges</a>
have a vendor specific ATA pass through command and JMicron was so friendly to provide us

So Christian Franke added experimental support (new option <tt>-d usbjmicron[,1]</tt>)
and made <a href="http://smartmontools.wiki.sourceforge.net/overview_USB-Support">tests
on windows and linux with two devices</a> yet. We are very interested in any further
