Has anyone had any experience trying to install Linux on a Sparq Drive?
Any info would be appreciated.

I've gotten an EIDE SparQ to run, mostly successfully, under Linux
as a backup file system. I'm not sure I'd actually
try to RUN Linux from it though. I'm not sure it could take the
continual pounding it would receive as the root drive. Another
posting recently mentioned that Jaz drives were also not very
reliable if used day-in/day-out in this way.
