http://www.addonics.com/products/flash_memory_reader/ide_ultra_digidrive.asp

has a much better description. plus you'll notice it's also listed for dos systems, yet no dos specific drivers.

At the bottom of the page:

System Requirements:

 IBM PC Compatible computer with IDE/ATAPI support
 
 One free 3.5" drive bay or 5.25" drive bay (require adapter bracket for 5.25" drive bay).
 BIOS supports for ATAPI ZIP100® device for boot function
 
 One of the following Operating Systems: Windows 98/SE, Me, 2000, XP, NT 4.0+SP6

Why?

@Framiga


Look at the dos version.

yes i've read it but . . .i've read the FAQ also.

seems that there are problems with hot-swapping, so you must install a Win specific utility.

However . . . i like that drive :-D
