OK here's the picture a I see it. I called Iomega back in March WRT the drivers
bleated and moaned bitch and cried and I got a beta copy ( one of a number since. Before this success I was told that the policy was that for people with the
1.2 1.3 drivers ( I am one ) the upgrade would be free if the drivers were
bought within the previous three months ( mine was ) otherwise a nominal charge.
If you have not bought a driver for OS/2 then the charge will be in line with
thier OS/2 1.2 and Unix drivers at around $80.00 plus applicable Tax.
The drivers as they now stand support FAT and HPFS via the Iomega card. HPFS
support will not permit removal of the disk unlespt between reboots as unlocking
the disk or locking it does not flush the data properly. I have tried removing
and exchanging disks mid-session and alto
ugh it works most of the time its the few times I worry about.
