- I don't know if it is the same drive, but I have an Insite floptical drive
- working under Linux off an Adaptech SCSI controller. The controller which
- came with my drive was a Grassroots controller which is not supported
- by Linux and I doubt will ever be. I do know of someone else with an
- Insite drive who is having trouble getting it to work, so don't get your
- hopes too high. Mine works fine however, so don't give up either!
-
- Note again that you MUST use a supported SCSI controller, then all
- should be fine (given my limited knowledge of SCSI)
