Hello (again) from Gregg C Levine Actually gentlemen, and ladies, no it is not. I have available for this system a USB Key Drive, from Memorex, and a CF reader, also from them. To use them under Linux, I need to turn on SCSI, and USB-Mass drive support. Also, the mass drive functions look more like SCSI to me, then anything like IDE. Granted this is one example.
I grok, that there are others out there who do use IDE, but I doubted. There are mistakes in the mass transport layers for Linux, certainly. But nothing that gross. Incidentally that's the 2.4.20 group, and I am using Slackware Linux here. ------------------- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
