I think so Paul. It was loaded with Win3KSvr and working fine. Something
about
Fedora does not seem to recognize it on the SCSI bus at boot. I tried doing
an
engage scsi command on it and the drive appears, but if you attempt anything

other than a status command it goes to lunch with an I/O error and off-lines

the drive.....very strange.
