I had the same problem, and found a couple of fixes for it (I can't 
recall the exact #'s, but I have them at home; I'll get back to you).  What 
you need is the default #tracks and #cylinders along with some others.  
There seems to be some dispute as to the most efficient settings; if 
anyone has this info for a Jaz drive, I'd like to hear it.
