FYI, seatools package is available for linux too, linux version can be found at the same place on seagate website as the dos version. Besides, with current software available for linux, seatools isn't really needed -- the functionality of seatools is already here when you look at scsitools, sg3-utils, smartmontools. With seatools (which is closed-source btw, and will only work with seagate disks), everything is bundled in a single application, but the same functionality plus much more is available elsewhere on linux. /mjt
