Re: Jaz drive woes, or am I just paranoid?

[Jesse Stanford]

I only know about the 2GB Jaz Drive, however, you must have the power 
cable and adapter and plug that into the drive.  Once that is plugged 
in, the drive will automatically power on and the green light will 
light up.  You will need an appropriate cable for it to connect it to 
your computer.  If I were you, I may just return it.  The Jaz are 
mainly useful for backup if anything at all.  Each firm has their 
projects they mess up on and i think the Jaz was iomega's.  It does 
hold an amazing amount of capacity, but it is painfully slow.  And 
don't think i mean just kind of slow, it is really slow.  very very 
slow.  No hard feelings toward Iomega, their Zip drives are the best 
and  their other devices are great as well

Hi all,

This isn't exactly on topic, but I hope someone can help anyway. I just
bought an Iomega Jaz drive (the original SCSI, 1Gb external unit) to use
with my PM9600.
I've received the drive, but can't test it out properly, as I don't yet have
the appropriate cable to attach it to my Mac, or any disks. I tried plugging
it in, but it doesn't seem to power on. Does this mean the drive is
defective, or do I just I just need to connect it to a computer or insert a
disk in order for it to operate? There doesn't seem to be any on/off switch
on the device.
Any help at all would be appreciated as I only have a limited time to ask
for my money back.
Cheers,
Adam.
