I've got a Philips 690 (also discontinued, unfortunately), and it works 
very well under Linux.  You can prolly still find them in some corners of 
the internet for sale though.  And I wrote the SxS for it too.

I'd suggest looking at the 2.4.x kernel config for what works, and then 
checking websites/usenet for user stories.
