This may very well be a dumb question (I hope not a FAQ) 

I have been given the opportunity to get a Jaz drive installed in my
SUN machine at the university. How is the best way to get to read
these Jaz cartridges at my FreeBSD machine at home????

Specifically I need suggestions for the choice of file system. I was
told by my sys.adm. at the university that FAT was the only choice, I
_really_ hope that he's mistaken... :-( (I'm aware that this is
partially a Solaris issue, but I have to start somewhere....)

Also I would appreciate any directions on how to get a Jaz drive up
and running in the FreeBSD environment. I don't have any SCSI
experience, so any advise will be greatly appreciated, including
suggestions for choice of controller...

Thanx, in advance.
