Well, just to finalize this thread. I did install the drive (80 gigs) and simply attached it to my motherboard, which is a fairly new one, and the drive works fine, and all 80 gigs or thereabouts are seen by the operating system (linux.)
Of interest, the box the drive came in advertises it to work with linux as well as windows. The included adaptor, which I didn't use, needed windows drivers, I think.
