Many moons ago I got RiscBSD to see my Syquest EZi drive, so it definately
could be done then. Unfortunately, I'm now using an IDE card that RBSD can't
see, so haven't played with any of it recently. I've also got an internal
IDE syquest 135 with 16 discs for sale at 150ukp ono if you're interested :)
