Has anybody used this drive successfully? We got reports of the Chinon 525 and 535 not working. But since we don't have these drives, nobody was willing to send one for debugging the driver, and nobody who got such a drive tried to debug the problem on his system, we haven't been able to fix it. (The other SCSI devices known not to work are Quantum Grand Prix drives. But the Atlas drives are fine ...)
