Hello:
Since the subject of IOMEGA is again showing up in the list I thought
I would see if their usefulness on Digital Unix can be extended further.
With the help of this list we are now using both ZIP 100 drives and JAZ
drives as both tar devices and UFS mounted disks on our ALPHA workstations.
What is now in demand is the ability to share the same ZIP 100 disk and
JAZ cartridges between Digital Unix and PCs. The first thing that came
to my mind was MTOOLS. They work well on floppy disks and I can't see
that increasing MTOOLS functionality to ZIP and JAZ disks should be
terribly complicated.
I tried pointing /etc/mtools.conf to a device pointing at a ZIP drive
but got back an error message saying the sector is too large.
I wonder if anyone has worked on this and possible come up with a
solution, using MTOOLS or not.
Thanks in advance.
