I spoke with the factory and told me that: 1. the device is ATAPI complient, 2. it is an IDE device. Currently I have no IDE devices, all are SCSI. If I got the device: 1. What drivers in the kernel would I use? 2. What choices would I make in my "LINT" file? 3. Is there anything else that you can think of that I would have to change or concern myself with? I am not interested in spending the money if there is little chance that it will work. Thank you for your time. ursa@cris.com
