I went to diamond mulitimedia's homepage and on the faq for their
fireport40 scsi contoller it stated the following:
Does the FirePort-40 work in Unix?
No
Does the FirePort-40 work in Novell Netware?
No
Does the FirePort-40 support Jaz and Zip drives?
Yes
Will the FirePort-40 allow bootable devices like Jaz and Zip
drives?
Sorry, not at this time we are working on developing drivers
for this Note: No time frame.
What Operating systems does the FirePort-40 support?
Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0.
Does the FirePort-40 use a interrupt?
Yes, doing a CTRL-C on bootup allows you to view the interrupt.
Does the FirePort-40 work in Windows 3.1?
No
The fireport runs off of Symbios Logic's SYM53C875 chip, and the linux
has drivers for ncr8xx chips, and i was wondering if it would work with that.
