Hi,

Not really an answer but just a comment.  On one of the Mklinux lists
there has been a lot of discussion recently about over-heating problems
with the Jaz drives.  Apparently the ones sold directly by Iomega do not
have a fan.  When left on for long periods (relevant since UN*X systems
like to be on all the time), the drives overheat and fail.  Anyone who is
thinking of running NetBSD off of a Jaz drive might want to get one from
La Cie or APS in a case with a fan.
