Hey Chris -
Some questions for you (forgive me if they are obvious...) Do you have
SCSI block device support in your kernel? Do the disks mount okay? Are
you using the tools disk? If so, have you installed from
it into Win95/DOS/Mac first? (The reason I ask is that the tools disk
comes from the factory with write-protect enabled...) I have two Jaz
drives that I use in Linux without problems...
Also, you might check into a couple of programs for Linux for the Jaz
drive: jaZip (gui) and jaztools (command line)
