bj@epoch:~$ dmesg |grep hdd
Kernel command line: auto BOOT_IMAGE=Linux ro root=305 hdd=ide-scsi
ide_setup: hdd=ide-scsi
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xc008-0xc00f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA

It works like a champ for me. It's a year or so old. It's only 4x4x32,
but aside from being slow, it functions flawlessly.
That being said, I *would* like to replace it with a SCSI drive myself
at some point, but it's because SCSI seems to be better in general, not
because of anything peculiar to this drive. And it would give me an
excuse to get one that records at faster speeds while I'm at it. ;)
