Dunno why you think so. I downloaded it with wget on OS/2, fetched the
iso onto the Linux box with the CDRW, and used Linux to write the iso
image to CD. Then I booted the CD, and ran the Seagate diags.

After what I wrote above, shipped a used about 9 weeks and blown Seagate
Barracuda IV drive back under RMA, and still didn't get a replacement
yet. It took USPS 4 days to deliver via priority mail, and 11 days for
Seagate to acknowledge its delivery to them on its web site.
