 <   I just read the post that the Jaz drive works on the IIgs, but

 <9 mhz Zip accelerator
 <RamFast 3.0 rev D (I think this is right)
 <540 meg HD
 <Sys 6.0.1

       I have installed a zip drive to my Rom 3 which is similar to the
above except for a CVTech mem card with 5 meg and an Apple HS SCSI card.
This has been plug and play and if I select all of the partitions on the
Zip and drag them to the trash the drive ejects the disc. Of course the
eject button can also do this. The drive works very well and I have even
booted off of it.
