Does anyone have any experience with this? I've used this setup for almost a year now, and it works great. There is one really weird "oddity" though, but it does not prevent things from working. If I have the Jaz drive on BEFORE I turn the computeron, then when I turn the computer on, the computer does not receive any power at all! The only way to get it to work is to first turn the computer on, then QUICKLY turn the Jaz on. But it does work great -- I use it for backups and archival storage, and have had no troubles at all. (and no, this is NOT a termination issue or anything, I've gone over my system with a fine-toothed comb about 10,000 times, and everything checks out fine.) - --- Donald Burr <dburr@POBoxes.com> - Ask me for my PGP key | PGP: Your WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ #1347455 | right to Address: P.O.
