I've been using this disk for data storage for approximately the last
year or so, but it's possible. The Linux partition on the disk has data
on it, and I'm able to read/write on it. (Last time I checked). Found
some information:<br>
<br>
Intel Corporation 82845G/GL/GV/GE/PE DRAM Controller / Host - Hub I/F Bridge<br>Display is VGA 82845G/GL/GV/GE/PE Integrated Graphics Device<br>
<br>
Then there're the 4 or 5 USB controllers, Hub interface to PCI Bridge,
LPC Interface Bridge etc. I will try installation with another disk in
a couple of hours. <br>
