Re: Sucess w/IOmega Drive on IIgs (w/some problems)



The "funny" folders and partitions you are encountering on the
Zip disk are just due to the way the Mac handles things. Move
and Rename, for instance, is an _invisible_ folder on a Mac
hard drive, but you see it on the GS. Also, the two wierd partitions
aren't done in HFS, but are the partitions used by the SCSI driver
for the device. Unlike the GS, which keeps the SCSI driver
in the */System/Drivers folder, the Mac keeps the drive on an in-
visible partition on the disk itself (and the RamFAST doesn't
like those partitions). If you reformat as one HFS disk, or as
several ProDOS disks you won't have a problem...unless you try to 
use it with a Mac as well, in which case it probably needs that
driver partition.
