Congratulations! When the software
installation is complete, your Jaz drive will be
ready to use.
Use your Jaz drive just like any other drive on your system. Your
Jaz disk will appear as an icon on your Mac Desktop. You can store
and copy files to and from the Jaz disk using the same methods you
use for your Mac hard disk or floppy disks. For more information
on using your Jaz drive and Tools software, refer to the Jaz User's
Guide or to the electronic manuals and help files installed on your
Mac hard disk in the Iomega Tools folder.
If you want to use your Jaz drive on a PC as well as your
Macintosh: The Guest program on the Install floppy for Windows/
DOS will provide temporary access for your Jaz drive on a PC with a
SCSI connection. (Use GUEST.EXE on a PC running Windows/DOS; use
GUEST95.EXE on a PC running Windows 95.) For full Jaz support, call
1-800-MY-STUFF to order an additional Jaz tools disk.
Troubleshooting
If the Iomega Tools disk icon does not appear on the Mac Desktop,
try the following suggestions:
• Make sure the Tools disk is fully inserted in the Jaz drive, then
hold down the Shift key and restart your Mac. Make sure you
hold down the Shift key until you see the message indicating
that extensions are off or disabled.
• If the Iomega Tools disk icon still does not appear, recheck the
instructions in this Installation Guide. Make sure the Jaz
drive is correctly and securely connected to the Mac.
• If the Jaz drive is part of a SCSI chain, make sure that each
device has a unique SCSI ID number (no duplicates) and that
the SCSI chain is properly terminated. Refer to the Jaz User's
Guide for detailed information on SCSI ID and termination.
