Re: Apple IIgs With Apple SCSI card and Zip100 Drive

[JCarlson <jcarlson1701@gmail.com>]

As per Tony's suggestion I tried the Advanced Disk Utility on the
GS/OS 6.0.1 Stystem Tools disk. It is able to see the Zipdisk when I
insert it, I was even able to zero a disk out. However, the system
still freezes when it tries to initialize the disk and I noticed the
partition option is grayed out. When I reset the system, I see the
following which I assume is referencing the crash.

00F: 0 0 R0
ACE =00Y0A =1CD00 =0B0 =0M0 =6L0m1x1e1

Any thoughts, ideas, HELP!!!!! :)
