There is a tool called Ziptool available at: http://www.torque.net/linux-pp.html (Look in the Iomega Zip drive section) I am told that it compiles with little or no modifications under FreeBSD, and will work with Jaz drives as well. It is a tool that lets you diddle with the Iomega protection bits, incuding disabling them. - --- 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.
