I'm not familiar with Iomega products, however, my Syquest Syjet 1.5 at leasts reports that it supports it: ahc0:A:4: refuses WIDE negotiation. Using 8bit transfers ahc0: target 4 Tagged Queuing Device sd1 at scbus0 target 4 lun 0 sd1: type 0 removable SCSI 2 sd1: Direct-Access 1430MB (2929800 512 byte sectors) I have not had any problems using it. A cool aspect of this drive is: 'Minimum Data Transfer Rate: 3.7mb/sec' so you can do AV type stuff with it. -- Brian Litzinger To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
