Are there any error messages in dmesg? |

I have an old parallel-port ZIP and two 1GB JAZ drives that |
| 19 |
are gathering dust because I've replaced all three of them |
| 20 |
with one $15 USB stick, which is far more reliable. |

I wish I had the $800 back that I spent on those Iomega drives |
| 23 |
plus the required SCSI controller :( I was recently tempted |
| 24 |
to buy an expensive Blu-Ray toy, but then I remembered those |
| 25 |
JAZ drives and changed my mind. |
