Hi, I have a Syquest Sparq 1.0 Gb IDE parallel port version. It quite works well with Debian Linux. Bit of a problem is that since the parallel port version is IDE based, it's so CPU Intensive! I've heard that the SCSI parallel port drives is faster and not as CPU intensive compared to the IDE parallel port drives. Looking at www.torque.net/linux-pp.html, The Syjet is supported... albeit the software is still in ALPHA version. So, your best bet is to either: * Buy a Syquest Sparc now. * Buy a Syquest Syjet now. Wait for a few weeks/months for the software driver to be mature/stable. regards, == ========== Andre M.
