There are at least 2 differential driver standards. The current, popular one is LPD or Low Power Differential. The 2940U2W supports LPD _only_. Be sure to get the details on those IBM drivers before you do any bidding :)I think Linux support is beta but check for the latest at: ftp.dialnet.net. FYI, I'm currently using a 2940U2W and a Seagate ST34502LW Cheetah on an NT server. VERY fast!!
