How is the best way to get to read these Jaz cartridges at my FreeBSD machine at home???? Specifically I need suggestions for the choice of file system. I was told by my sys.adm. at the university that FAT was the only choice, I _really_ hope that he's mistaken... :-( (I'm aware that this is partially a Solaris issue, but I have to start somewhere....) Also I would appreciate any directions on how to get a Jaz drive up and running in the FreeBSD environment. I don't have any SCSI experience, so any advise will be greatly appreciated, including suggestions for choice of controller... Thanx, in advance. -- Arne Norre Ekstroem Email: anek93@kom.auc.dk Soendergade 24, 1.th WWW: http://www.kom.auc.dk/~anek93 DK-9000 Aalborg Phone: +45 98 11 11 13 Denmark
