Well i was using a mountlist but since i only wanted to use it with amiga os many ppl inc elbox say you dont need one so i have none now.I am using amigaos3.9 and i have had my zip drive a long time now so it kinda sucks that i cant really use it.So if anyone can help me out it would be really great.
Thanks...
Ps the drive isnt dead as i tried it in my pc and it worked fine....

Ok now im thinking about this its starting to look like a waste of time really.I have been trying to get this zip drive working for over one year now and i know the drive works as i tried it on my pc.I have been in touch with elbox and they sent me the new version of the poweflyer software and well when i used that most of my partitions vanished until i replaced it with the previous version.So in the end not even elbox have a clue whats up with it and i aint wanting to use the drive to swap files from windows so elbox say it should be seen right away by trackdisk.device but it isnt.
