They told me the same thing so I tried it and it works.

No.

No modifications are necessary.

Doug, I would like to make an offer:

I have written a driver that gets the IOmega disk up and running.  At this
point, my driver only supports one unit, no cartidge changing, and little
error handling.  It does work though and is a good starting place to come
up with a good clean driver.  If you want it, I will send it to you if you
will send me back your driver when you finish it.  It is currently written
in MPW assembly language.

This is my first posting out here on the net, so I hope you get this.
