As this is a 64bit processor based system, I would prefer to run the new SuSE AMD64 version of linux. So far Ihave not been successful in running this version of linux as to date Promise have not come up with the PDC20378 drivers.

I may/should be able to run RH9 as drivers are recognised on istallation, however I haven't gon that far yet. Also the fedora yarrow version can't / won't use the rh9 drivers.

Promise are working on the drivers and have assured me they will send a copy asap.
