I have a friend who uses one in combination with OS/2 2.1 and a 540 MB Quantum
HD.  The combination (on his DX2-66) is really Really _REALLY_ fast.  It
already has its own .add file (get 2x4xos2.zip from cdrom.com), which seems
to work well.  I can't speak for Linux, but for OS/2 it works very well and
I recommend it highly.
