Recovered! I spent some time plugging and unplugging it, and cracked
the case and pressed and poked at all the components. Finally several
tries later it recognized, and actually mounted a filesystem. I
immediately opened a Terminal window and dd'd a copy of the entire
device. It gave me the same file size as the other copies, but this
one had readable files on it. When that was done I tried browsing the
drive and the files I checked out opened ok. Then I mounted the last
image I made with dd, which I had named with a .iso extension, and it
mounted fine and the files were available there. SO, I unmounted the
drive and un- and re-plugged it. It didn't mount. I did it again and
it mounted. Unmount and tried again, no mount - and it hasn't since.
At least I had that small cahnce to make a good copy of the device.
