What is jazip
jazip is:
It combines Grant Guenther’s original command line utility, ziptool, with Jaz drive support, a nice X interface and additional utilities to allow users to easily mount and unmount disks formatted in either ext2 or fat.
It supports the Iomega Zip drive with USB, parallel, SCSI or ATAPI interfaces, but ATAPI Zip drives are supported only when using kernel SCSI emulation. I don’t know about the Zip-plus version (someone please tell me). The SCSI Jaz drive is supported in both the 1G and 2G capacities. It does not support the much older IDE (non-ATAPI) interface drives, nor Syquest drives.
The package also includes jazipconfig, a configuration tool.
