    I've been in contact with Mr. Hartz via direct e-mail.  Yesterday
morning I reported to him that I was able to partition a 1GB Jaz
cartridge in a 2GB drive.  I created eight partitions according to the
list of partition sizes he sent me.

    It was interesting to do this partitioning as I had never used ADU
before this.  After I was done I decided to see if any of the other
SCSI cards could recognize this freshly partitioned cartridge.  A
revision "C" Apple SCSI card did not recognize the Jaz drive so I
didn't even try any of my older Apple SCSI cards.  Also, a revision
"C" RAMFast SCSI card with V2.01 ROMs would not recognize the Jaz
drive.  I have asked Mr. Hartz a couple of times which RAMFast card he
has but he didn't respond.
