Are there any error messages in dmesg?
I have an old parallel-port ZIP and two 1GB JAZ drives that
are gathering dust because I've replaced all three of them
with one $15 USB stick, which is far more reliable.
I wish I had the $800 back that I spent on those Iomega drives
plus the required SCSI controller :( I was recently tempted
to buy an expensive Blu-Ray toy, but then I remembered those
JAZ drives and changed my mind.
