Thank you.  Running late tonight but I did copy/paste from the other 
email the following:
echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTR{idVendor}=="1493",ATTR{idProduct}=="0030", 
MODE="0666"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/99-cobalt.rules

Too late to fiddle with the DC and USB cable (they are current back in 
their box) tonight.  I should have more time tomorrow evening to take 
the next step.

Again, thanks for the info.
