Once you have disabled the write protection of the Jazz drive, I assume that you are using the tools cartdrige? You need to do their software install and run reclaim to delete the mac or pc "partition" and un-write protect it. This is a iomega "software" protection built into the drive. >So I went and bought one.

It always says the drive is write protected. >There's numerous errors about mode sense (4), and some other goop. No problem with mode sense, it just isn't reporting a valid disk geometry, but should still work fine since it correctly reports the valid number of sectors. I've used mine on 2.1, 2.1.5, 2.2-Current and 8-XX SNAP. It is just another scsi drive, although you want it as a higher scsi ID than your CDROM during installation b/c otherwise during package or ports install, the system tried to mount that as the cdrom to install from. I'm assuming that FBSD tries using the first removable device as the CDROM from sysinstall? >P6-200, Adaptec 2940, -current as of 8/26, 2 4GB Barracuda, 1 Fuji 4GB >disk, Toshiba CDROM, JAZ drive.
