Yep, I agree now. I *finally* got it working. For some reason or another,
ESIX could not make a file system on any partition *unless* the first
physical partition was a DOS one. Sort of bugs me, as my primary drive already
has a DOS partition, and I was hoping that I could use the 2383N all for UNIX,
but such is life.
Fantastic drive. Very cheap, very very fast. Half height.
