Re: HELP! Windoze ZIP disks on a IIgs?

Update...

On the advice of Supertimer and Rubywand, I installed MUG! and so far it
works beautifully.

More beautifully than I was led to expect, as a matter of fact.  Okay,
gurus, figure this one out--

I've got a SCSI ZIP drive.  I've got an Apple High Speed SCSI card.  I've
got a Floptical SCSI driver installed which seems to have reduced
some annoyances in file-picker windows.  I have the ProDOS, HFS, MS-DOS,
and DOS 3.3 FSTs installed.

And now I have MUG!.

I was informed that in order to use MUG! I would need to launch a GS/OS
application before running MUG! so that the Finder's "I don't regognize
this disk! <Format> <<Eject>>" window wouldn't come up and annoy me.

For some reason, this doesn't happen to me.

With only the System 6.0.1 Finder operating, if I stick my MS-DOS Zip disk
into the drive, I get the sound effect associated with mounting a disk,
then *nothing happens*.  No error message.  No new icon on the desktop. 
Nothing at all.  This allows me to run MUG! from the finder, with access
to all of the file management features.

The upshot of all this?  

My problem is solved.  Now the question is, why does it seem to work
better for me than others, including the program author, have reported?
