'Tis true.  When you run Iomega Guest, it loads a driver for the drive,
and all cartridges thereafter are accessed with that driver.  Once I
booted with a Silverlining cartridge in place, ejected it, then tried
to run Iomega Guest, and Guest complained there was already a driver
loaded for the drive.

Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly.  
It just happens to be selective about who it makes friends with.
