Hi,
I am going to buy a Linux box soon. I am certainly not going bother
with slow, lame IDE drives, so I decided to go for the Adaptec
1542C. I understand that there have been problems with the 1542C
in earlier versions of Linux which are fixed now. However, I'd like
to know if it's safe to buy an ED floppy instead of an HD one.
Are those drives supported under Linux yet ? And if not: Will they
be any time soon ? Will they work fine in HD mode at least so
that I could just use it normally for the time between ?
I am probably going for the Teac 235 J model.
Holger
