Yes, the JAZ sounds nice. We may get them as well. But I don't think that
makes the Zip better by association.

Ick! The EZ (or at least it's closest relative, the 105, which I've
played with) seems to do everything right.  Just plugged it in and went. 
Hope Iomega fixes this for the JAZ... 

What exactly does the kernel report for the Zip? What's the ID string
