Re: Iomega Zip drive on II

[yeo@pigeon.qut.edu.au (Willie Yeo)]

: I still consider myself just slightly above "Novice"; but the Iomega Zip 
: works fine on my IIGS.  I have a High-Speed SCSI, Chinook 100-meg HD,  
: 4-meg Ram using 6.0.1.  Initialized and partitioned the Zip disks with 
: ADU.

: With help from a couple of friends, all worked fine after right settings 
: were found on HD, and back of ZIP drive. 

	Can you describe how you managed to partition the Zip ? And what 
did you use ?

	What happened on my Zip is, whenever I attempt to initialise the 
Zip after I partitioned it, it will always comes back as unitialised. I 
am really getting out of luck here. I am using the Advanced Disk 
Utilities with System 6.0.1 and even the Apple II HS SCSI disk utilities 
I cannot even do it at all. It attempted to write the partition table but 
without avail. I tried to partition a 32Mb ProDOS + 64Mb HFS partition.

	System 6.0.1 always tells me that the partition cannot be 
recognised and ask me if I want to initialise it. It seems that it cannot 
write back to the partition table at all.

	Is there any other suggestions ?

	HELP !!!!!!!!
