I recently bought two ZIP drives with the idea of transferring files between my PC and Amiga500+ running WB2.1 with CrossDOS. Well, right now they work great on each respective machine, but I'm having a devil of a time getting the Amiga to recognize the FAT formatted ZIP disk from the PC.
I've downloaded and installed the ZipMount Devices from Aminet...These include ZP0C, ZP0, etc. and placed them in the /devs/DOSDrivers folder. But alas, the best I can see on the Amiga desktop is an icon with ZP0C:NDOS which means it won't open. If I attempt to format the drive with this icon, I end up with an error that states "Disk is not Validated"...
Any idea why I'm not able to get my Amiga to recognize PC formatted ZIP disks?
I quite easily get the Amiga to recognize a ZIP Disk formatted with the Amiga FFS. Works great!
The PC can read the PC formatted zip disks just fine! The PC Zip drive is a USB 250MB and the Amiga ZIP Drive is a SCSI 250MB. (however, right now it only seems to accept the 100MB disks and rejects my 250MB disks as soon as I pop them in, but that's another issue).
Thanks
