Are you certain about the nature of your drive? The Mitsumi driver is for the really old FX-001 and FX-002 drives. Most vendors ship ATAPI drives these days, so are you sure it's not an ATAPI one you've got? If it's ATAPI, your chances to get it running under a 2.2 system are much better than under any 2.1.x system. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
