  Join the club !!!   I have had nothing but trouble with Jasmine 140 drives.
First of all, try running a Jasmine 140 and an Apple CD rom drive together
(external 140). The first time you reboot your system after attaching the 
drives, the Jasmine wipes itself out; every time, without fail !  I documented
this and sent it to Jasmine in January; they said they "would look into it".
Needless to say, I have not heard from them. 
 Also, all three of my drives have self destructed. First, the access light 
begins to flash at various times in a 1-2-1 repeating pattern. Then after 
about a week of this, the drive starts to shut itself down and park the head 
while it is reading or writing a file ! One of the drives that I returned
to Jasmine failed a second time. The down time on these drives has cost me far
more that the money that we saved by buying Jasmine drives instead of Supermac
drives. While I certainly DONT speak for DuPont, I personally have decided to
discontinue all purchases from Jasmine. I have gotten too many promises from
their tech support people that have never panned out.
