I have a portable JAZ drive which I hook to my HP300, PowerPC, PS/2 and Alpha, variously, for porting. The PPC and the Alpha have an NCR, and have a tough time seeing the JAZ drive. Basically, I have to bring up the drive, bring up the computer, and then insert the cartridge after the reset but before the "waiting for devices to settle" to get it to boot. I have an NCR controller in my dual P90 box, and the Internal JAZ drive there doesn't have problems; I'm convinced the problem is specific to the portable JAZ drive (or the external connector on the NCR controller).
