Check out: http://www.torque.net/linux-pp.html On this page, there is a utility called ziptool.c, which does what you ask (and more) for Iomega Zip drives. It may or may not (I don't know which) work for Jaz disks. Go ahead and get the code and try it, and you can e-mail the maintainer for more info or questions. - --- 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.
