    I bought the Jaz 2GB drive on eBay along with a 1GB cart and two
2GB carts.  To make sure the drive worked I connected it to a SCSI
PCMCIA adaptor in an IBM ThinkPad.  It worked and I believe I looked
at all 3 carts to see if there was any interesting software on them. 
They were all MS/DOS.  I was able to partition the 1GB cart without
formatting it first.  The first successful partitioning occurred using
an Apple DMA SCSI card in a IIe after finding that neither a rev. C
Apple SCSI card nor a rev. C RAMFast SCSI card would recognize the
drive.
