Adding Iomega ZIP drive support to OS/2 bootable diskettes. This process works
for the PP version of the ZIP drive. I downloaded the ZIP OS/2 drivers from
the Iomega CIS forum. The Iomega forum has disappeared from CIS.
Iomega is charging $19.95 for the OS/2 drivers but were free when downloaded
from CIS. Now for the hard part. I am using WARP and WARP Fullpack
and have ZIP support working for both types of bootable diskettes.
1. Install the Iomega OS/2 drivers and get the ZIP drive working.
2. Create the bootable diskettes using the OS/2 create utility diskette
function.
3. On the second disk create a directory called OAD. Copy the following files
into it:
CONFIG.DEV
ZIP-100.DEV
OS2.SYS
IOM$ERR.DAT
IOM$MSG.DAT
PPA.OPT
PPA3.OPT
CONFIG.OAD
NULLDEV.DEV
NULLADP.ADP
NULLADP.OPT
NULLDEV.OPT
PPA.ADP
PPA3.ADP
4. Add the following line to the CONFIG.SYS file on the second disk:
device=a:\oad\os2.sys
That's it. Boot OS/2 from the diskettes and you should have access to the
ZIP drive.
