This is interesting. I've seen (several times) the comment that the Apple
Drive Setup tool doesn't work for Linux.
However, it certainly did for me (on the Lombard & on a 9600/233)... under

Still hacking sound stuff on the G3 at present...
haven't got round to following all the advice on set up of the G4 (thanks to
all contributors)... should be a breeze :-)
Iain.
