I understand that the 1220 has been Eol'ed. It is replaced by the 1230. 
Has anyone tested with the 1230 ? (Sorry - I dont actually know what the 
differences between the 1220 & 1230 - I was looking to get a 1220 and 
was offered a 1230).

Also, what are the management/diagnostics tools for the 1220 like under 
NetBSD4.
Can you get the status of the partitions and repair one if you choose to ?

thanks
