I have found one possible supplier www.allcam.biz but theirs are listed as compatible with Mac OS 8.6. I have just spoken to their tech staff and they use a Tene 802 chipset.
They also say that "you maybe [sic] able to use these device under Linux" for both their HDD enclosures and their external harddrives. The Linux installation guide (a link to http://homepage.ntlworld.com/allcam/usb_storage_linux_guide.html) is predominantly for SuSE 9.0 (which has a 2.4.21 based kernel). Having had a peek through the kernel sources for 2.6.8 (my current Debian testing), I can't see any mention of a Tene 802 chipset. I also took the liberty of downloading the SuSE 9.0 kernel sources and searching them too (hey, it's a new broadband connection, I've got to make use of it :p) and it too doesn't mention specifically anything about a Tene 802. My guess is that it should work fine. -- Grant Sewell -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
