- "Can Jaz Drive read ZIP cartridges". My reply is thus...
-
- Hi Andre,
-
-
- AH> Hello everyone
-
- AH> I've got a few questions regarding the Iomega jaz drive.
-
- AH> 1 Can the Jaz drive read the smaller Zip cartridges ?
- AH> If it can't, why not. Is it another size, or is it (just?) read/write
- AH> incompatible ?
-
- No. Different sizes and different technology. Not even close.
-
- AH> 2 Is there a driver for the amiga and what are the requirements for it?
-
- No driver needed. Just use the SCSI version. Works fine just like any SCSI
- hardware on the Amiga.
-
- AH> 3 Does anybody has any experience with the jaz regarding reliability ?
-
- No, I have a ZIP.
-
- AH> I'm wondering wether to buy a Jaz or a Zip, they both have advantages
- AH> and disadvantages.
