- I have a ZIP DRIVE connected to my A3000 and it can read PC-Formated, and
- MAC-formatted ZIP disks.
-
- you need the ZIP TOOLS software from SQUIRREL it mounts a PC device,MAC
- device, and AMIGA device.
-
- but to read MAC-formatted disks you need CrossMAC,because ZIP TOOLS DOES NOT
- support MAX Dos.

- You might be to copy FRAMESTORE over to the ZIP drive using a disk utility and
- have the Toaster address it. (I copy pictures from my PAR in the PAR's format
- and when I need a pic. Copy it back from the ZIP and the PAR displays it in
- about 2 seconds)

- hope this helps...
