I've got a micropolis 4221uav 2.1 attached to my 2940uw that works
great in DOS 6.22.  However, I can't get the drive recognized under
NT3.51.  Ain't that a kick??  

You need to specify a  -U- in the model number though, and insist on
the U.  I had to send the first one I got back (mail order).

The micropolis is a good drive, but you may not need the AV
certification.  It does add to the cost, but not a great deal if you
shop around.

Good luck.
