Hi Martin,

thanks a lot's for your tips with oleview.
This confirm that the enums need to be used like this:
[????.StorageBUS]::StorageBus_SATA

But I still can't use it, and I've found that "such enumeration types
are not supported in PowerShell scripting on COM-type library
directory".

Problem resolved: It's a Power(less)Shell feature :-)

Thanks all for your help.
