	The RH 9.0 driver from Promise didn't work. I have e-mailed them
asking for a RHWS v3 driver, no word back yet. I just don't have the moxie
to modify the code as Harper suggested, but I appreciate the suggestion.
	What if I were to install a second hard drive that RH recognized and
load RH there?  Is there a way then to the dual boot option with Windows 2K
to work? The two operating systems would be on different hard drive, one
recognized by RH and one not.
	By the way should I be posting responses at the bottom or the top of
an ongoing discussion like this?

Thanks for any help that you can give
Rod

Don't forget, if Promise provides a boot floppy, you must boot the CD
using "linux dd".  When the system asks you for the driver floppy, put
it in and click on "Continue".
