Thanks! > If I'm not mistaken, and I only know this to be true for Zip drives, the utilities provided by Iomega set a fixed translation (geometry) that all Iomega software recognizes. The SCSI controller has its own idea as to how the disk should be setup geometry wise. Thus even if you had it MS-DOS formatted, you would be unable to read it unless it was formatted as a hard drive under DOS. I'm sure that there is someone working on this problem, or it is already fixed. -- Kris Kirby UAH Mail <kirbyk@email.uah.edu> UAH CS <kkirby@cs.uah.edu> Home <kris@airnet.net> WWW <nomurphy@hotmail.com> ------------------------------------------- TGIFreeBSD...
