It probably could be made to work but something that you might want to
seriously consider is purchasing the disk (or at least the drive software) from
LaCie. With a 105M drive you will likely need partitioning and LaCie's
Silverlining is excellant for this. They provide this package and a bunch of
other goodies with all of their drives.

Hope this helps
