I bought the IDE version to test out (I would normally use SCSI) - I have a
client who could use about 5/6 on different Linux servers. At the moment
you can't use them as removable drives on Linux. I have started using this
test drive on NT and backup across the network - it is still a bit flakey I
think but at least seems to work on NT.
I have finally got a response from Castlewood and the guy reckons they will
have a Linux driver in the new year . . .
Regards,
Phil.
