The whole thing behaves sensibly as removable media - i.e. cannot be ejected while the filesystem is mounted. Special Jaz features like password protecting/unprotecting are not supported. I neglected to record the steps cause I was learning about the system and not sure it was going to work at all but at least you know it is possible. If nobody else has a simple answer I can the cartridge back to FAT file system and go through the process again (hopefully).
