Title: Dead External SCSI Zip drive help..
Post by: on December 16, 2002, 07:35:19 AM

ok, this is the second time i have writting this call for help, hope it works :)

Basically this :
A4000/040
external scsi zip drive (100m) has died
can I get an internal IDE zip drive and install into A4000 to recover files on Amiga formatted disks, or maybe a driver for my P.C (P.iece of C.rap) to read amiga disks - this is an emergency..

Thanks for your time.

PC cannot read Zip disks unless they are formatted with PC format (e.g. worked with CrossDOS or FAT95 on the Amiga).

Of course you can connect any SCSI or IDE (or USB) Zip drive to your Amiga and read your Zip disks.

They`re usually quite reliably...
the zip drive can connect directly to the Amigas IDE interface.
