I'm planning to buy an Iomega ZIP drive for use with FreeBSD (SCSI version),
and wondered if anyone had actually used it? Any experiences, good or
bad, welcome.
Does anyone know if Iomega's ``ZIP Zoom'' SCSI interface happens to
work with FreeBSD? Enquiring minds and all that...

P.S. Just upgraded from 8MB->24MB memory. I'd always heard that more
memory made a big difference, but: Wow! My hard disk is almost silent
now, where it used to clatter continuously... And X is SOOO much faster!
