ZIP 100 and FAT95 problems
« on: August 11, 2004, 12:05:10 AM »
I have a IDE ZIP100 in my PC W2k boxen and a SCSI external ZIP100 connected to my Amiga3000 on the external SCSI port.

I have installed FAT95 from Aminet.

I can read/write PC ZIP disks on both computers (SneakerNet ;-) ).

But if I format a ZIP disk in W2k I can read/write fine on the PC but then I cannot see the files on the Amiga even though the disk shows 8Mb in use, the files are only 2.7Mb in size.

If I format the same disk in the Amiga using Format and selecting ZPC: the disk takes ages to format (couple of hours) I can read/write it on Amiga but the PC reports no disk in drive on one disk and the files show corrupt on the other disk.

PC formatted disks that I brough pre formatted work fine on both computers!

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
