Is there a way for me to customize a driver for this device?
Its really annoying to get all those crazy errors...
Mainly I want the drive to be detected at the correct capacity all the 
time, withought media having to be in it.
I have to boot with the cartridge in for it to work...
It'd be nice to see improved support for the iomega devices, even though 
they're cheapo, there are a fair amount of them floating around...
If anyone is interested, I could write up something to go in the handbook 
about installing the drives, but getting them working is something else :)
