How do you hook up a ZIP 100 Drive to an A2000HD?

Fat95 is the filesystem to use if you want to share youre zip disks between windows and amigaos. Fat95 is a FAT32 compatible filesystem, supporting long filenames and various file attributes and is available from aminet.

Copy Druidnick's mountlist to make yourself a mountlist for your zip drive, call it ZIP or something and plop it into your Devs:Dosdrivers drawer if you want it to be auto mounted at startup.

-edit-

Note you wont need the MYZIP: line if you are making a dosdriver file as above (IIRC).

OTOH, simply copy Druidnicks mountlist to youre Devs: drawer and call it MYZIP.mountlist.

Somewhere in your S:user-startup file add

Mount MYZIP: from DEVS:MYZIP.mountlist >NIL:

Both should work fine. Personally I prefer the former method but its all a matter of preference.

Fat95 is fine for floppies, hard disk partitions, zip drives etc.

As for CD roms, things are a bit different. Data CD's have always had their own formats (ISO standards).

If you have OS3.5 or better, the CacheCDFS filesystem bundled with it reads Joliet (that is windows own extensions to the CD standards) fine. Nothing special you need to do there unless something is wrong in your CacheCDFS settings. Check the prefs program for it and make sure Joliet support is enabled.

I burn CD's on my winbox to copy large files to my amiga quite often, so I can verify that this works just fine.
