How does one find out what kind of chipset is inside a sealed drive box? I don't think that it matters, at least in this case. I have the Maxtor 3000** and it works fine for me on 2.4.recent. Haven't tried 2.6.0-test yet. ~Randy ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
