I will try the Knoppix, but will not use FCIII. It's my experience that some things are taken away just to make room for better and more advanced features I don't need or use. For example providing support for Zip 250 but not Zip 100. I understand that it is old technology but hey so is the Zip 250. So I will stay with FCII for a while longer then move onto something else. Like I said it works with Xandros 2.0 and I'll just use the Zip 100 on that machine and use the USB 250 on FCII.
I think I will ask Scott to bring his Jazz Iomega with him at the next CWE meet and see if support is provided for it on FCII. Just wondering.
