It's things like "close to having a working Linux driver" that puts 
people off !

What's the "plug and play" situation with S2 cards ? Eg, how many of 
them would work on a plain install from (eg) MythBuntu ?

I'd be tempted to stick with an older card for the moment, and add an 
S2 card later - I can't see too many muxes going S2 too soon. Though 
I guess that depends on one's skills in putting together a recent 
enough set of bits for full support.

WANTED: "Software CD ROM Kit" for Canon CLBP 360-PS printer (Canon 
part no RH6-3612, or possibly RH6-3810, or RH6-3610 might do). I've a 
dead HD and need this CD so I can replace the disk and re-install the 
printer OS on it.
This is NOT the same thing as the printer drivers to load on the 
computer - there's no problem there.
If anyone knows where I might get hold of one I'd be grateful - 
requests to Canon drew a blank, it's been out of support for years.
Alternatively, if anyone has one of these and would let me image 
their hard disk ...
