It works fine under Windows, but I couldn't get it to work under Linux. I even tried it with the Adaptec PCMCIA SCSI card (said to be compatible with just about everything SCSI under the sun) and it didn't work. Furthermore, I talked with a couple folks about this and found that David Hinds (author of Linux's PCMCIA drivers) stated the drive is nonstandard and will probably never work under Linux. Avoid it unless you never plan to leave Windows. -- John H. Kim kim@mak.com
