I am using the same thing. But you will need a QIC36 controller to make
it work with the QIC02 driver available for linux. ARCHIVE makes such a thing.
I got mine for $5 surplus. it is a halfcard and you have to give it an IRQ
(2...7) and a DMA channel (DRQ/DACK 1,2,or 3). That is all. Without the
controller you can still use the drive as a paper weight :(
