after going around with this thing for many weeks with a friend of
mine who also has a zip drive and could not get the demo of executor
to work with it properly, we discovered one thing. If you want
executor to recognize a mac zip disk, YOU MUST USE THE 16 BIT IOMEGA
ASPI DRIVER (Guest). It was tried with several other drivers
(including the driver for win 95) and it fails to properly allow
access to a zip drive. As soon as we tested IOMEGA's ASPI driver set,
the zip drive came up fine. (Tis means that if you are in win95
running executor, there is no way to get the zip drive to appear
properly, you must run it in a dos session (not just full screen) by
rebooting in MS-DOS mode and running guest.
This may not be definitive, as there may well be other drivers that
work, but none that we tested. Boot into DOS (hit F8 when it says
windows 95 is starting and choose command prompt only) then run guest,
and your mouse driver, and then run executor. see if the mac drive
does not show up......
