[WarpCast] IOMEGA ZIP Drives using Parallel Port - 7/14/99 |
Coming August 1999 -- Inet.Mail Pro 1.5 Virtual domains on a single ip address, increased performance, and more from the best mail server for OS/2. http://www.hethmon.com -- sales@hethmon.com ****************************** WarpCast ****************************** Source: Ross Duncan (ross.duncan@scotland.ncr.com) Moderator: Dirk Terrell (admin@os2ss.com) ********************************************************************** The IOMEGA driver for OS/2 which controls the parallel port version of the Zip 100 drive no longer works with the new version of the drive. The reason for this is that IOMEGA ran out of the controller chips used in the 100 and replaced them with the chip from the 100+ drive which auto detects between SCSI and Parallel port. IOMEGA are resistant to requests to upgrade the driver and so we are gathering information about customers. We need to know of companies who use parallel port drives and have hit this issue or intend to buy new drives and will thus encounter the issue. While individual members of the public are not necessarily of use when we make our case it would be handy to know what the installed base of units running os/2 and if anyone has had to return their drive because of this issue. Basically the more data we have the better case we have to take to IOMEGA. So if you have any information please contact me. ross.duncan@scotland.ncr.com Thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
