Iomega Zip drive on IIGS



	I recently acquired a Iomega Zip drive for my Macintosh. I also 
bought a few extra 100Mb disks. I decided to share the Zip with the 
Apple IIGS. Got some problems trying to use it.

	I have a Apple IIGS ROM 3 machine with 2Mb of RAM, and connected 
the Iomega Zip with my Apple High Speed SCSI card on slot 4 (Your Card). 
There's a ZipGSX 9/32 on slot 3 as well.

	I recall seeing someone being able to use the Iomega Zip on his 
GS with lots of problems a couple of weeks ago (also the reason that 
prompted me to get one myself !). I tried to partition with the Advanced 
Disk Utilities on System 6.0.1 as well as the Apple II HS SCSI Card 
Utilities Disk. None of them worked. I always come backs to GS/OS unable 
to initialise the partitions when I attempted to install System 6.0.1.

	Any pointers on how am I to use the Iomega Zip with the Apple 
IIGS ? I just wanted either 4 ProDOS partitions, or 1 ProDOS and 1 HFS 
parition on the Iomega Zip.

	Any help is MUCH appreciated. If it works all well, I will 
probably help write a FAQ for connecting and Iomega Zip to the Apple IIGS.
