[NTLUG:Discuss] Rev USB drive on Fedora Core 3?

[Neil Aggarwal]

All:

I asked Iomega and they gave me a link to this project:
http://iomrrdtools.sourceforge.net/
which is contributed by Iomega.

According to them, it is completely supported on 2.6.7 and
newer kernels.  FC3 is has a 2.6.9 kernel, so it should
be good to go.

I believe Iomega, which not advocating Linux, is supporting
it.
