I can help on the connections... you need a cable that came
with the drive. Plug that cable into your floppy port, plug the existing
cable into a connection in the middle of the new cable, plug the other end
of the new cable into the Jumbo, and plug power into the Jumbo. While I
have a Jumbo 250 (now a Jumbo 350, they had a software/firmware upgrade a
few years back I took advantage of), I've never used it in Linux.. and
haven't used it in a year and a half (too small, even with the 800MB
cartridges, for a normal harddrive these days). If you do get it working, I
>STRONGLY< recommend that you do not use anything less than the larger 800
MB tapes.
Same can be said for the Floppy based IOMEGA DITTO EZ TRAVAN TR1 drive....
although in that case, I can now buy tapes that hold about 1.6 GB, vice the
original 800 MB limit.
In Windows 95/98/etc., both work fine with Arcadia Backup Software that
comes with the larger capacity tape drives. Unfortunately, that's all the
help I can give... I haven't tried it in Linux. :(

Please, I need help about the connection and drivers (DOS or LINUX).
Thanks, Adair.
