Adrian,

couple of questions regarding the flagstone FDE HDD:

1) Is a client software required to fully exploit the functions of the
drive? If so, can you please describe the client software briefly?
2) Does this FDE implementation support pre-boot authentication? If
so, what kind of kernelis used for pre-boot?

Thanks
