- FH> Hi folks,
-
- FH> I too bought a ZIP drive. Setup was fine, speed, is ok
- FH> (A1200+Bilzzard1230III) but my Amiga fails when it comes to recognize a
- FH> MS-DOS formatted disks.
- FH> When I format disks to FFS I can use them as usually. I also used the
- FH> drive (with another medium) at a PC, formatted a media and everything
- FH> worked fine. I JUST CAN'T MAKE THE AMIGA USING A MS_DOS MEDIA!!!
