It seems that someone has written a (working) driver for NetBSD (i386) for MO drives.. if someone would like to do something with it (like port it :-), see comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.misc or mail to leidecker.gsfc.nasa.gov. -- One Ruleset to rule them all, One Ruleset to find them, One Ruleset to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
