3/31/2024 0 Comments Iomega zip driver windows 7![]() ![]() I then transfered stuffit lite 3.5 on both my Portable and in mini Vmac, so I can segment the file(s) and transfer them by floppy (and have tested doing so). I installed Mini vMac and used HFV Explorer to transfer iomegaware 1.1.3 to a DSK image and then opened it in Mini vMac. I've spent the better part of four hours trying to get it transfered to my Portable. I don't have the hardware to test the theory.įirst off, thanks for the info and the link to Iomegaware v1.1.3 I appreciate it quite a bit. Of course, this is just reading the documentation after installing the various packages on SheepShaver. IomegaWare v2.1.1 supports System 7.5.5 to 8.6 IomegaWare v1.1.3 supports System 7 to 8.1 So, by the looks of the documentation, for a Zip250 SCSI. Later support documents recommend v 2.1.1 for system 7.5 to 8.1. The first release non-beta version was v1.1.3. ![]() You may be able to use generic drivers to get the drive to function BUT, the way ZIP drives track bad sectors is handled by the ZIP driver and may produce read/write errors if the ZIP driver is not used.įrom what I can see, you need the early release of IomegaWare for a Zip250SCSI to get older system support. The problem may be at what version the ZIP250 began to be supported by the driver. The version numbering is restarted at v1 again but the actual driver extension version continues from v6 onward. This is the first generation supported 100MB Zip drives, Bernouli drives and Jazz drives. To be clear, there are two generations of Iomega driver installs. The first problem I can see is whether the driver in the MacOS supports the Zip250. The following page shows you how to set the SCSI ID and termination: I can easily provide pics if necessary, and any help would/will be appreciated. I do have two zip 100 m/f scsi cables, but both the ports on the z250s drive and Mac Portable are female, so I need a M/M cable.īefore spending more money on a zip 100 drive/100mb disks, I'd like to know that it's definitely possible to get them to work with a portable with system 7, or if maybe I'm doing something wrong with the 250mb drive/disks/cable. I got the Iomega Zip Tools from Macintosh Gardens it says it works for system 7 and my portable has 7.1.Īfter following the instructions for hooking it up (power off everything, hook up zip drive, power everything back on, etc.), making sure it was terminated and then starting everything up, the 'Zip Install' software didn't detect any scsi drives and neither did scsi probe.Īfter spending quite some time troubleshooting booting with extensions disabled, different scsi ID's (5 or 6), resetting PRAM (I think that's what it was called), etc., I figured that maybe 250mb drives didn't work with system 7, the 250mb disks weren't compatible with system 7 or maybe the cable wasn't actually a scsi cable. I bought some 250MB zip disks from Amazon (probably should have went with 100mb disks) and a 25 pin male/male cable that fits both the drive and the portable whether it's a scsi cable or not, I've no clue. I came across a z250s at a Goodwill and figured 10 bucks was worth giving it a shot. I'm wondering if anyone has ever used a zip drive on a Macintosh Portable, and if so, they'd be willing to help me get a zip drive working with mine. I did a small amount of surfing around the forums looking for info beforehand but didn't find much. ![]()
