- Short: Mountlist for PFS v2 formatted ZIP disks
- Author: W1bBle (layabouts@the-giant-sofa.demon.co.uk)
- Uploader: W1bBle (layabouts@the-giant-sofa.demon.co.uk)
- Version: 1.00
- Type: disk/misc
- Requires: 1- Professional File System v2 by GREat Effects Development
- 2- A ZIP drive! ;-)
- 3- Hardrive prep tool like HDInstTools
-
-
-
-
- Detailed requirements:
-
- 1) ZIP drive -- can be IDE or SCSI, internal or external, it doesn't matter.
-
- 2) PFS2 -- sounds obvious I know, but don't tell me this doesn't work when
- you're trying to use FFS, AFS or whatever!
-
-
-
- Installation:
-
- First, drag the SQZ5 icon over to either (a) the Sys:Storage/DOSDrivers drawer
- if you're not confident this will work (shame on you!) or (b) the
- Sys:Devs/DOSDrivers drawer. If you're using DOpus' name mode lister to copy/move
- the mountlist, make SURE you don't leave the .info icon file behind!
-
- Next, find out what device the ZIP drive uses, and the unit number it occupies
- on that drive controller. Use this information to alter the tooltypes of the
- SQZ5 icon to the values appropriate to your machine.
-
- Finally, get a copy of HDInstTools or some other HD installation utility. This is
- recommended over HDToolBox because it seems to handle removable media better.
- Use the same installation procedure for PFS2 on your ZIP disk as you would a
- harddrive. See the PFS2 documentation if you need a quick reminder.

-
- *** NOTE ***
-
- If you are using the mountlist supplied with Hisoft's ZIP/JAZ Tools eg. ZIP0 for
- FFS disks, do not rename this mountlist to ZIP0. Give it a different name. For
- example, I have called it SQZ5 because my ZIP drive is a SCSI device on my
- Surf Squirrel at SCSI ID 5.

- If you have any trouble with the installation, just email me at:

-
-
- If you are trying to use this on a JAZ drive and you successfully alter the
- mountlist (or even if it works right away!) send me an email to tell me how
- you did it, and I can include the information in the docs for the next version.
- And there will be a next version, because these docs are so ropey!
-
-
- Hope this works for you. Enjoy!
