The manual had a "non-exclusive" list of drives known to work; it suggested
that just about anything should be OK. The formatter lets you set things
like step pulse rate/seek time, heads, cylinders, etc.

As far as I know, once the drive is formatted, it uses the standard driver.
Assuming the formatting stores the setup details on the drive, I don't see
why it shouldn't be possible to use another OS afterwards.
I no longer have my DQ614, so I can't test it for you :-(
