Yup.. I was able to boot up to a partition magic floppy and access the
drive okay.. I don't have one with me today, but tomorrow I will try
knoppix and see what module it loads with that scsi card..
I feel like such a noob.. Everything about linux I know I've learned from
wplug and just by playing around for the past 7 or 8 months..
