     Section 1
     Using the 1GB Jaz "tools" Disk
     
     The 1GB Jaz "tools" disk included with your Jaz drive is a
     special dual-format disk which contains Jaz Tools software
     for BOTH Windows/DOS and Macintosh systems.  Before you can
     write any files to the disk, the disk format must be set as
     EITHER Windows/DOS (IBM-compatible PC) or Macintosh (which
     eliminates files stored under the other format type). 
     Running the Jaz Tools software Setup program under Windows
     3.1 or the Setup95 program under Windows 95 automatically
     sets the "tools" disk format to Windows/DOS and reclaims the
     Macintosh portion of the disk for use on PC systems. 
     Similarly, running the Iomega Install program for Macintosh,
     sets the "tools" disk format to Macintosh and erases the PC
     portion of the disk.
     
     If you use your Jaz drive on both PC and Macintosh systems
     and want to install Jaz Tools on both system types, you need
     to purchase an additional "tools" disk for installing Jaz
     Tools on your second system.  (See your Jaz Accessory Guide
     for ordering information.)
     
     NOTE:  The Jaz "tools" disk can be used to reinstall Jaz
     Tools software on the SAME system type (PC or Macintosh) as
     the initial installation.  Be sure not to delete any of the
     original files from the disk in case you ever need to
     reinstall your Jaz Tools software.
     
     
     _________________________________________________________
     Section 2
     Using the Guest Program
     
     The Guest program allows you to use your Jaz drive on a
     computer without having to permanently install either an
     Iomega driver or Jaz Tools software.  All you have to do is
     connect the Jaz drive to the computer and to an Iomega Jaz
     power supply, and then run the Guest program from one of the
     "Install" floppies to load the Guest driver.  

     There are versions of Guest for Windows 95, Windows 3.1/DOS
     and Macintosh systems:  

       *  For Windows 95, run Guest95 from the Windows/DOS
          "Install" floppy.  If you encounter any problems, see
          "Help for Guest95" on the "Install" floppy.

       *  For Windows 3.1/DOS systems, run GUEST.EXE from the
          "Install" floppy.  Refer to the GUESTHLP.TXT file on
          the "Install" floppy for additional information on
          using Guest with IBM-compatible PC's.  (If you install
          Jaz Tools software under Windows, you will find the
          same information in "Guest Help" in the Iomega Jaz
          Tools group.)  
     
      *   For information on using Guest on Macintosh systems,
          refer to "Guest Help" on the "Install" floppy for
          Macintosh.
     
     NOTE:  On Windows 3.1, DOS, or Macintosh systems, running
     the Guest program provides a temporary driver installation
     that is removed when the computer is shut down or restarted. 
     Running Guest95 permanently installs the drivers needed to
     support Iomega hardware under Windows 95.
     
     
     
     _________________________________________________________
     Section 3
     Installing Jaz Support on DOS-Only Systems
     
     The SETUP.EXE program on the "Install" floppy disk for
     Windows/DOS runs correctly only under Windows 3.1.  If you
     do not have Windows on your computer, you can still use the
     Jaz drive, but you will not be able to use the Jaz Tools
     software that requires Windows.  This section describes the
     software support for Jaz that is installed when you follow
     the software installation instructions presented in the
     printed "Jaz Installation Guide" for DOS systems that do not
     have Windows.
     
     
     ______________________________
     Section 3.1
     Iomega Driver for DOS
     
     Running the INSTALL program from the DOSSTUFF directory on
     the Jaz "tools" disk installs Iomega SCSI software to
     support your Jaz drive.  The Iomega SCSI Driver installs as
     a device (SCSIDRVR.SYS) in the computer's CONFIG.SYS file, 
     and because of the way DOS handles drive letter assignments,
     this can shift your existing drive letters.
     
     Iomega software for Jaz includes a TSR version of the Driver
     (GUEST.EXE) which will not cause any drive letter shifts
     when it is installed.  Complete comparative information on
     SCSIDRVR.SYS and GUEST.EXE is contained in the electronic
     "User's Reference Manual" (REFMAN.EXE) which is included in
     the DOSSTUFF directory on the Jaz "tools" disk.  If you
     prefer using the TSR version of the Iomega Driver
     (GUEST.EXE), you can manually install it in your
     AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  Refer to the "User's Reference Manual"
     for manual installation instructions.  (See Section 5 in
     this file for detailed instructions on accessing the
     electronic manuals.)
     
     NOTE:  Iomega SCSI includes optional CD-ROM support.  Refer
     to Section 6 in this file for additional information on
     installing the Iomega CD-ROM driver.
     
     
     ______________________________
     Section 3.2
     Jaz Tools under DOS
     
     Iomega SCSI software includes a set of utilities that run
     under DOS.  The Iomega SCSI Utilities handle a number of
     tasks related to using removable SCSI drives and disks,
     including Jaz drives and disks.  You can use these utilities
     to set software protection options on your Jaz disks, copy
     data to or from Jaz disks, format Jaz disks, or lock the Jaz
     drive so that you can install software to a Jaz disk.
     
     You can run the Utilities in an easy-to-use menu mode or
     from the DOS command line.  To start the Utilities in menu
     mode, go to the DOS prompt for drive C: (the drive where
     your Iomega SCSI software is installed) and type:
     
                    cd \IOMEGA <Enter>
                    SCSIUTIL <Enter>
     
     If you need help running the Utilities, press <F1> anywhere
     in the Utilities.  Complete reference information on the
     Iomega SCSI Utilities is contained in the electronic "User's
     Reference Manual" (REFMAN.EXE).  (See Section 5 in this file
     for information on accessing the electronic manuals.)


     ______________________________
     Section 3.3
     Installing a Jaz jet under DOS
     
     The INSTALL program does not automatically detect the Jaz
     jet SCSI PCI host adapter.  If your Jaz drive is connected
     to a Jaz jet card and you are installing on a DOS-only
     system, you MUST manually install the ASPI manager for the
     Jaz jet in the computer's CONFIG.SYS file to complete your
     software installation.

     Here's how:

      1.  Run the INSTALL program from the DOSSTUFF directory on
          the Jaz "tools" disk.  (If you need detailed
          instructions, refer to the printed Installation Guide
          that came with your Jaz drive.)

      2.  Open your CONFIG.SYS file and locate the DEVICE lines
          for the Iomega SCSI configuration utility and driver:

               DEVICE=C:\IOMEGA\SCSICFG.EXE
               DEVICE=C:\IOMEGA\SCSIDRVR.SYS

      3.  Immediately BEFORE the device line for SCSICFG.EXE,
          insert the following line to load the Jaz jet ASPI
          manager:
     
               DEVICE=C:\IOMEGA\ASPI2930.SYS

      4.  Save changes to CONFIG.SYS, exit the text editor, and
          reboot the computer.

     Section 4
     Installation Troubleshooting
     
     This section includes problem solving information for the
     following problems:
     
       4.1     Duplicate drive letters
       4.2     No drive letter available for the Jaz drive
       4.3     Guest does not assign a drive letter to the Jaz
                    drive
       4.4     Other problems
       4.5     Special Information for Users of Adaptec EZ-SCSI
     
     
     _______________________________
     Section 4.1
     Duplicate drive letters
     
     If you see two drive letters for your Jaz drive or other
     drive you are using with the Guest driver (GUEST.EXE),
     reboot the computer immediately.  Using your Jaz drive when
     duplicate drive letters are present on the system can result
     in data loss.  
     
     After the computer reboots, do not load the Guest driver. 
     You do not need to use Guest to access the Jaz drive on this
     system because the Jaz drive is already being assigned a
     drive letter.
     
     Windows 95 Users: If you see multiple drive letters for your
     Jaz drive or other Iomega drives, refer to the problem
     solving information in the electronic "Installation Manual"
     (MANUAL.EXE) that is included on the Jaz Windows/DOS
     "Install" floppy diskette.  (See Section 5 in this file for
     information on accessing the electronic manuals.)
     
     
     ______________________________
     Section 4.2
     No drive letter available for the Jaz drive
     
     You may see this problem when using the Guest program on
     DOS/Windows 3.1 systems.  For detailed problem-solving
     information, refer to the GUESTHLP.TXT file which is located
     on the "Install" floppy for Windows/DOS.
     
     
     _____________________________
     Section 4.3
     Guest does not assign a drive letter to the Jaz drive
     
     If you run the Guest program and it informs you that no
     drive letters were added, and yet you cannot access the Jaz
     drive, it indicates that the driver is unable to locate the
     Jaz drive.  This is probably due to a hardware installation
     problem.  For detailed problem-solving information for both
     Windows 95 and DOS/Windows systems, refer to the electronic
     "Installation Manual" (MANUAL.EXE) which is located on the
     "Install" floppy for Windows/DOS.
     
     
     _____________________________
     Section 4.4
     Other problems
     
     If you encounter other problems while installing or using
     Jaz Tools software or Iomega SCSI, refer to the electronic
     "Installation Manual" (MANUAL.EXE) for additional problem
     solving information.  Section 5 contains detailed
     instructions on accessing the electronic manuals.

     
     _____________________________
     Section 4.5
     Special Information for Users of Adaptec EZ-SCSI

     Jaz Tools and/or Iomega SCSI software can be used on the
     same system as Adaptec EZ-SCSI without problems if you:

       1. Use the Iomega SCSI driver to support your Iomega
          drives.  (If you are using Jaz Tools software under
          Windows 3.1, you must run both Setup to install Jaz
          Tools and Install to install Iomega SCSI.  See the
          electronic "Installation Manual" (MANUAL.EXE) for
          detailed instructions.)

       2. Use the /I option with SCSICFG.EXE to tell the Iomega
          SCSI software to ignore devices you want controlled by
          the Adaptec ASPIDISK.SYS device driver.

       3. Use the /ID option with ASPIDISK.SYS to specify the
          devices you want it to support.

     NOTE:  Without the /ID option, ASPIDISK.SYS will take
     control of all SCSI devices, including your Iomega drives,
     and you will be unable to use your Jaz Tools software or
     Iomega SCSI Utilities.
     
     The remainder of this section details how to use the /ID
     option with ASPIDISK.SYS.  For information on using the /I
     option with Iomega software, refer to the electronic "User's
     Reference Manual" (REFMAN.EXE).  (See Section 5 in this file
     for detailed instructions on accessing the electronic
     manuals.)

     To specify the devices you want supported by your EZ-SCSI
     software, you need to add an ID option to the DEVICE line
     for ASPIDISK.SYS in your CONFIG.SYS file.  Here's an example
     of an ASPIDISK DEVICE line:

               device=c:\scsi\aspidisk.sys /d /pause

     Leave at least one blank space after the last option on the
     line and add an option of the form:

     /ID=[SCSI ID#]+[SCSI ID#]+ ... +[Adapter ID#:SCSI ID#]...

     Where each device you want ASPIDISK.SYS to support is
     specified by its SCSI ID number.  The adapter ID number need
     not be specified if there is only one SCSI adapter in the
     computer, or if the devices to be supported are connected to
     the first SCSI adapter in the computer.  (The adapter ID
     number for the first SCSI adapter is 0; for the second
     adapter the ID number is 1.)

     For example, if you want ASPIDISK.SYS to control a SCSI hard
     drive at SCSI ID 2 on the first or only SCSI adapter, you
     would need edit the CONFIG.SYS file and add /ID=2 to the end
     of the DEVICE line for ASPIDISK.SYS.  (You would also need
     to add /I=2 to the end of the DEVICE line for SCSICFG.EXE in
     the CONFIG.SYS file to tell Iomega SCSI to ignore the SCSI
     hard drive.)

     The following example would tell the ASPIDISK driver to
     support the devices at SCSI ID 0 and SCSI ID 1 on the first
     or only SCSI adapter:

          device=c:\dosstuff\aspidisk.sys /d /pause /id=0+1

     Here are three other examples of command line syntax for the
     ID option.  The second and third examples assume that the
     computer has two host adapters.

          /id=0+4+6      Support devices at SCSI IDs 0, 4, and 6
                         on host adapter #0

          /id=0+1:4+2    Support device at SCSI ID 0 on host
                         adapter #0.  Support device at SCSI ID 4
                         on host adapter #1.  Support device at
                         SCSI ID 2 on host adapter #0.

          /id=0+1+2+1:1  Support devices at SCSI IDs 0, 1, and 2
                         on host adapter #0.  Support device at
                         SCSI ID 1 on host adapter #1.



     _________________________________________________________
     Section 5
     Electronic Manuals
     
     The Iomega software package for Windows/DOS includes two
     electronic manuals:

      *   The "Iomega Installation Manual" (MANUAL.EXE) which
          contains complete installation and problem-solving
          information for Iomega software under Windows 95,
          Windows 3.1, and DOS.

      *   The "User's Reference Manual" (REFMAN.EXE) which
          contains complete reference information on Iomega
          software for DOS/Windows 3.1, including the Iomega SCSI
          driver (SCSIDRVR.SYS), the Guest driver (GUEST.EXE),
          the Iomega SCSI Utilities, and the Iomega ASPI
          managers.

     To access the Installation Manual, insert the Windows/DOS
     "Install" floppy in a floppy drive (the example below
     assumes drive A:), go to the DOS prompt, and type:
     
               A: <Enter>
               MANUAL <Enter>
     
     You can also run the Installation Manual from the Windows
     File Manager by selecting drive A: and double-clicking on
     MANUAL.EXE.  Under Windows 95, you can access the
     Installation Manual by double-clicking on the floppy drive
     in My Computer and then double-clicking on the "Manual"
     icon.
     

     The User's Reference Manual is located in the DOSSTUFF
     directory on the Jaz "tools" disk.  Use the following
     procedure if you need to access the reference manual before
     installing your software:

      1.  Insert the "Install" floppy diskette for Windows/DOS
          into the computer's floppy drive and the 1GB "tools"
          disk into the Jaz drive.

      2.  Go to the DOS prompt and type:

               a:guest.exe <Enter> (Install floppy in drive A)

                         or
    
               b:guest.exe <Enter> (Install floppy in drive B)

      3.  Note the drive letter Guest assigns to your Jaz drive
          and use it in place of "d:" in the following command
          line:

               d:\dosstuff\refman <Enter>


     If you install Iomega SCSI software using the INSTALL
     program, you can access the User's Reference manual from the
     C:\IOMEGA directory after the software installation is
     complete.  Go to the DOS prompt and type:

                    c: <Enter>
                    cd \iomega <Enter>
                    refman <Enter>

     If you install Jaz Tools for Windows using the Setup
     program, you can access the User's Reference manual from the
     JAZTOOLS directory on drive C after the software
     installation is complete.  Use the Windows File Manager to
     locate REFMAN.EXE in C:\JAZTOOLS, and double-click on the
     filename.


     
     _________________________________________________________
     Section 6
     CD-ROM Support
     
     Iomega SCSI software includes support for CD-ROM drives. 
     The Iomega SCSI CD-Player driver has been fully tested with
     a wide sample of CD-ROM drives from different manufacturers,
     and most drives showed full compatibility, working with both
     data and audio.  
     
     Use the following procedure if you wish to install Iomega
     SCSI CD-ROM support:
     
     Step 1.  Insert the 1GB "tools" disk into the Jaz drive.
          
     Step 2.  Insert the "Install" floppy for Windows/DOS into
     the computer's floppy drive.
     
     Step 3.  Run GUEST.EXE from the "Install" floppy diskette. 
     Note the drive letter Guest assigns to your Jaz drive.
     
     Step 4.  Run D:\DOSSTUFF\INSTALL.EXE /2 (use the Jaz drive
     letter in place of D:).
     
     This procedure runs the Iomega SCSI Install program and
     automatically installs the Iomega SCSI CD-ROM driver if the
     CD-ROM drive is CONNECTED at the time of installation and if
     the operating system is MS-DOS 6.0 or higher.  If the CD-ROM
     driver does not install automatically on your system, you
     can install it manually after the Iomega SCSI driver is
     installed.  Refer to the electronic "User's Reference
     Manual" (REFMAN.EXE) for information on installing the
     Iomega SCSI CD-ROM driver manually.
     
     NOTE:  The Iomega SCSI Driver supports the Jaz drive, so you
     will not need to use the Guest driver after Iomega SCSI is
     installed.  To speed up your computer's boot time, you can
     remove or remark out the GUEST.EXE line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
     file.

     Cautions
     
     
     ______________________________
     Section 8.1
     DOS DISKCOPY
     
     CAUTION! 
     When used with removable disks (for example, Jaz disks,
     Bernoulli disks, etc.), DOS DISKCOPY does not create a copy
     of the source disk on the target disk.  DOS DISKCOPY
     executes as if copying data from the source to the target
     disk; however, after completion, the target disk is
     unreadable and must be reformatted.  Use an Iomega disk
     copying utility to copy disks (either Iomega SCSI Disk Copy
     or Copy Machine).
     
     
     ______________________________
     Section 8.2
     Compression
     
     Stacker 4.0 works with removable disks supported by
     GUEST.EXE (for example, Jaz disks); however, do not reboot
     when Stacker asks if you want to reboot to remove TSR's. 
     Rebooting removes the Guest driver and eliminates access to
     the Jaz drive.

     DoubleSpace and DriveSpace do not work with disks supported
     by GUEST.EXE, but they do work with the Iomega SCSI driver. 
     If you want to use DoubleSpace or DriveSpace to compress
     your Jaz disks or other removable disks, install the Iomega
     SCSI driver in your CONFIG.SYS file to support your
     removable drives.  Refer to the Jaz Installation Guide for
     IBM-compatible PC's for detailed instructions on running the
     INSTALL program from the DOSSTUFF directory on the Jaz
     "tools" disk.  If you use Windows, also install your Jaz
     Tools software for Windows by running the Jaz Tools Setup
     program after installing Iomega SCSI.

     CAUTION! 
     If you are using a compression utility on a removable disk
     (for example, a Jaz disk), you should make that disk
     nonremovable (or lock the disk in the drive) whenever the
     compressed volume is mounted.  Removing a disk while the
     compressed volume is mounted could result in lost data.  To
     remove the disk, first unmount the compressed volume, then
     unlock the drive.  Refer to the electronic "User's Reference
     Manual" (REFMAN.EXE) for detailed information on locking and
     unlocking drives.
     
     CAUTION! 
     Do not use any disk compression software to compress
     removable boot disks.


     Iomega SCSI Utilities with Stacker 4.0
     
     When using Stacker 4.0 and Iomega SCSI, mounted, stacked
     drives will not appear on the graphical user interface
     screen for the Iomega SCSI Utilities.  In order to use an
     Iomega SCSI utility on a stacked drive, you must first
     unmount the drive.
     

     ______________________________
     Section 8.3
     Shifting Drive Letters
     
     The following caution applies only if you are installing Jaz
     support on a DOS-only system or if you choose to install the
