Title: Iomega IDE Zip 100
Post by: swift240 on April 01, 2006, 01:11:09 PM

Hi all,
I won an Iomega IDE 100 Zip drive on eBay, works on the PC tried it,
But when trying to get it to run on my Amiga, it just will not see it at all.

I have an IDE'99 board and from that I have on the Primary a 2Gig HD with OS3.9,BB1 and BB2 as master and a CD rom as Slave.
On the Secondary side I have the IDE Zip set as Master.
I have the Zip Dosdriver in Devs DosDrivers.
In the Icon settings of the Zip Dosdriver are as follows:-

ACTIVATE=1
STARTUP=1
DEVICE=scsi.device
UNIT6

If I change the UNIT6 to UNIT0 then OS3.9 starts up then hangs dead in the middle if all the Icons showing.

I have tried the obvious like IoTools but it states "Currently, no Iomega drive is available."
I have tried the Mounter in Tools but still same problem it just wil not be seen.

I hope this is somwetghing simple to overcome but I havent got a clue as what to do next?

Can any one help please on this, I dont want to see it just sit there and do nothing.

TIA,

Mike.
