I got my MO drive yesterday and hooked it up this morning.
(RPS is indeed FedEx Ground.)

Anyway, here's my setup:

A - Adaptec 2100S SCSI RAID controller
  0 - IBM 18.2GB, 4MB, Ultra160
B - Adaptec AHA-2930 SCSI controller
  2 - Olympus MO drive (external)
  3 - Plextor 12/20 CD-ROM (internal)
  4 - Plextor 8/2/20 CD-RW (internal, terminated)
  6 - Umax 610S Scanner (external, terminated)

With the MO drive hooked up, W2K finish booting.
Win98 won't see any device on the 2930 controller.
Win98's device manager says there is a problem
with the controller device.
The 2930's setup code gives me timeouts when I try
to run the disk utilities (ctrl-A).

During startup, the 2930 *does* list the attached
devices correctly.

It doesn't look like I will be able to install Linux
with the drive attached, and I may not be able to use
my computer at all even after installing Linux.

Any tips (except "install Debian") would be greatly
appreciated before I try Olympus support.

Thanks,
Chris
