- Say what? I have one, and have used it with a ST-1127 and another
- brand name that I have never heard of, and it worked nicely with both
- of them. Now, I have two generations of the 213 (one of the old 1/2
- height and one new slim line version) working.
-
- Not with Linux, however. I did test it on them, but eventually I put
- linux on the ST-1127. But it did work.
