   I'm using linux on a Bernoulli 'PC Powered Pro 90' right now.

   But it won't work with IOMEGA's controller, unless someone writes a
   driver for it. I bought an adaptec 1542 and it works great with it.

I took a look at the card, and it looks like it might by possible to
use the Seagate/Future Domain driver, just from the numbers on the
chip. I don't know what modifications would be needed, though. Also,
I can't test my assertions, becase the machine doesn't have linux on
it, doesn't belong to me, and is about 200 km away...

However, it looked like the chip might be a version of the same chip,
and might work. It's worth a try, unless it's already been shown to
be false. Maybe?
