Hmmm, I never had any problems with Iomega tech support. They even
gave me a set of drives with technical documentation free gratis and
followed up with a couple of calls to see how I was getting on.
It probably helped that I had the IRS for a customer at the time.
Nothing like support from techs with high-level marketing types
breathing down their necks.
Think "almost" SCSI, NOT SCSI.
At least some were read-only of the previous media - I don't remember
whether that was 10 V 20 or some other transition.
I DID say "SCSI-ish". Later drives got better with conformity to
SCSI-2 standards. To be fair, in the early days of SCSI, there was
"Apple SCSI" and everyone else.
