- I have a A3000 with the old -04 WD????? scsi chip and a Zip drive
- attached. Using Squirrel zip tools if the drive is powered on at boot
- time, there should be no problem. You must have the drive powered on
- at boot time. If you do not want to use Zip tools, then you can format
- the disks with the HDToolBox. Use SCSIMounter (available on AmiNet) to
- mount the Zip drive. This will mount the zip after a boot and after
- turning on the Zip post boot. After using SCSIMounter, I have not
- figured out a way to get back to the Zip tools mounted cartridge
- without doing a warm reboot.
