Mounting a USB drive on a HyperV virtual server

This is a bit of an obscure thing to want to do, but I was sent this link that shows how drives can be attached.

What I didn't know was that the drive doesn't appear in HyperV until it's marked as offline on the host, and that if you choose to mount SCSI rather than IDE drives then they can go into the guest server hot (i.e. not restart).  Obvious stuff in hindsight I guess, but it go me out of a corner.
