The 8x doesn't work at all under Linux.  I don't remember about
OS/2.  It's something screwy with the SCSI interface on the
drive itself - I tried it with both the Panasonic (QLogic) card,
and with an Adaptec 1460A card.  Windows could see the drive,
Linux couldn't.

I settled for the 4x and have used it in either slot under
linux. I don't recall doing the slot-swapping experiment under
Windows, but I do know it works in the top slot.
