- That helped a lot. Unfortunately it ruled out the problem that I was
- expecting. I now don't see any reason why Executor/DOS shouldn't be
- able to read and write to a SCSI zip drive, assuming that the PC has a
- SCSI port and either supports BIOS calls to read and write SCSI drives
- or has ASPI drivers. Ziv Arazi was the first person to report this
- problem and I believe that Ziv has used other Mac formatted SCSI
- drives with Executor.
-
- There is no support for the Parallel port version of the Zip drive,
- but as far as I can see the format of a Mac zip diskette (at least the
- format of *Elan's* Mac zip diskette) is the same format that we're
- handling in other cases. ARDI now has to go back to the drawing board
- on this one. I think the only solution will be to buy one, which
- isn't something we can do for another couple of weeks.
