Mac PreFormated Zip Jaz disks OK for Amiga?
I can't get my Zip 250 or Jaz 1gig to work
even using HD tool box.  Just wondering
if the fact that I'm using Mac preformated
disks is the problem?
Amiga 4000D/040 Warp Engine/SCSI-CD/Cybergraphic64/X-Surf
Amiga 1200T 060/60 PPC603e BVision and more
Amiga 1200 nice white case GVP1230/1291SCSI
Amiga 2500 stock 2630 GVP HC+8(4)CD-ROM

Hi - thanks for the note.  Yes it recognizes the disk but my system refuses to format it.  It gives me a very simple error message something like "I can't format this type of disk".  I don't have cross Mac loaded, and really just want to wipe the disk and format it with FFS standard Amiga format.  I wonder what the problem is?

I've got my mount list set OK and my Zip 100 seems fine.  My Zip 250 also works but the JAZ seems to be the fussy one.

Thanks !

Hi -

I thought that it did not matter if it said MAC or PC on the disk !  From a previous post I'll look at some of those JAZ tools on Aminet.  I thought that since there was a ZIP tools built into OS3.9 that it would kinda just work.  From the note it seems to me that there are a few drivers/loop holes I need to fix-up.  Having a good mountlist file is not enough?

I'll keep pecking away at this .  Thanks !
