So supporting slices on the LS-120 drive makes no sense nether : you use MS Windows et al. nor FreeBSD. Is this ATAPI limitation? Do the parallel/ATAPI zip drives support slices? I would have thought the LS-120 would only behave like a floppy with floppies and enable more functionality on the 120 MB media (e.g., various non-FAT filesystems). All the SCSI removable models I've used (jaz, zip, SyQuest) seem to support slices. Removability even works with a little care. I hope that FreeBSD can support as much of that as possible on the LS-120 drives (since I hope to get one someday. But since I haven't written a lick of code, I'm in no position to make demands. :-) ) K.S. PS -- How do you like the drive's performance and reliability?
