Title: JAZ 2 Gb drive and ZIP floppies
Post by: flaviosr on August 07, 2007, 02:32:37 PM

Ciao,

I received as a gift a JAZ 2 Gb and I would like to use it to read ZIP floppies... before loosing time in tries, can a JAZ 2 Gb drive read ZIP100, ZIP250 and JAZ 1 Gb floppies?

Ciao and thank you

Jaz 2gb can read only jaz carts. 1gb and 2gb.
you need a zip drive to read zip disks.

Thanx... I didn't noticed that, I have only the JAZ...
So I must decide if to use a JAZ or a ZIP drive (or both?)...
Suggestions? How easy is to use the JAZ? I know there are many tools for the ZIP...

You can either partition each JAZ disk (for AMIGA use) or use DOS Drivers for them.  You can even read PC and Mac formatted JAZ disks!  See Aminet for DOS drivers.
