FYI Thought this recent discovery may be of use to Emax users. I have sucessfully formatted and saved to a 1 Gig JAZ drive. A whopping 950 Mb!So I now have a major library all on one cartridge - magic :-) Cheers Peter

Are you sure about that available space? The Emax II OS has a partition limit of 540Mb.
So though it may have formatted it, there should only be around 520Mb of space
available on it and it should have ignored the rest.

I know john, I also was surprised with the size as I had read this also. But when I change drives to Iomega J it reports 950MB - I copied all of my internal 40MB HD to it and I have 93% unused on the Jaz. Perhaps the OS is reporting the size as 950 but in fact it is only 540Mb? --- In emax@yahoogroups.com, "John Silveria" <emaxjs@s...> wrote: > Are you sure about that available space?

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.
