Re: Help installing ZIP drive

["Rudy Guy" <ljsilicon@ameritech.net>]

Actually, you can format the Zip using the Ramfast utilities as either 1 big 
HFS (Mac) format volume or you can use it to partition the zip into volumes 
of up to 32 meg a piece. Then you have to map the partitions so the GS knows 
which partition it should boot from.
