Just been there. That seems to confirm what I've been told already, in that
DOS, Windows (note '95 not mentioned) and OS/2 are the only o.s.'s listed
as compatible. Trouble is I can't find anywhere where they mention planned
development - all there seems to be is loads of troubleshooting stuff for
existing setups.

Worse is that there is nowhere (at least as far as I could see after 40
minutes of searching) to leave a message for them. Does _anyone_ have an
email address for Iomega where I can vent my spleen and find out what the
hell is going on. I've looked at their paper manuals but they only give
me the phone numbers of the dingbats who insist on giving me out-of-date
telephone numbers of trade suppliers who can't help anyway :-(

How can I find out if I've *completely* wasted my money (i.e. they're
never going to write NT/95 drivers for it) or if I just need to bide my
time (and pray that my disk doesn't toss its cookies in the meantime)?
