Re: [emax] Re: Iomega Jaz Drive

2003-10-13 by John Silveria

hmmm good it be that what you are reading is that's it is a "JAZ 950" in "Drive 
Selection"? I ask this because the ID name for the drive is actually on the cartridges, 
when I put one of my EZ135 cartridges into my EZFlyer 230 my Emax and ESi-32 report 
the drive as being an EZ135 because that is what the cartridge is. Conversely my old 
Maxtor internal use to report itself in "Drive Select" as being a Maxtor 100S though in 
reality after formatting it was only about 95 MB.

I'm too tired to do the math right now, but 40Mb out of 950Mb isn't 7% is it? 54Mb on 
540 would be ten percent so 40 would be close to 7% of that.
