note to any combination norton/zip users out there...

from SYMANTEC CORPORATION - PETER NORTON GROUP 03/01/99
Release Notes for Norton Utilities

"IoMega Zip and Jaz drives have internal automatic bad sector
correction, and will reallocate bad sectors on the fly. Do not
use Norton Disk Doctor's surface scan function to check for bad
sectors, as this will thwart the internal bad sector detection
and cause problems with your Zip or Jaz cartridge. IoMega
recommends that you remove Zip and Jaz cartriges from the drive
when not in use to minimize disk damage."

iomega offers a lifetime replacement warranty on their disks. i've personally taken them up on their offer on one occasion when i ran into a bad jaz disk. as i recall, the iomega replacement guy asked if i'd run any norton scans on the disk. i may be wrong, but the implication was that doing so could void the warranty.
