hmmm, this one I have must be a newer version and it does allow you to
specify a partition for linux and dual boot options. I'll be finding out
tonight, I just bought the linux deluxe package and am redoing everything
on the drive. If I come back, I'll tell you how it went and if I scrapped
the ontrack in favor of the software with linux.

The BIOS on this machine does not support LBA which was one reason I needed
the ontrack.

So the version I have is clearly a newer one as it does carry a standalone
OS and can be booted on a raw machine with no system installed at all.
