Most of them work. That is not the point however.

The deal is that I had a Jaz drive eating disks. It was a bad drive,
plain and simple. But do they trust my word for that fact? Nope.
"What O/S are you running?"
"Uhm, Linux."
"Oh we don't support Linux. Goodbye."
"No wait. It's got nothing to do with the O/S. It's destroying disks."
"But we don't support Linux."
"Linux, Windows, MacOS, it doesn't matter. The drive is physically
destroying disks. It's got nothing to do with the O/S."
"Sorry, we don't support Linux. Goodbye."
That is why I will NEVER do business with Iomega again. If things work,
great. If not though, you are SOL. That is unacceptable from a vendor.
