Please try this before you give up. I doubt you'll
get 8 volumes in a II, the II+ can only give 4 in slot 5.

If 8MB works, 128MB should too.

Well, I won't have one either now, don't feel badly.
You can set your ZIP Chip to slots 5&6 slow.

Well, hell. Run the Laser then.  :)

If I had a II, it would be wrapped air-tight and
locked in a safe somewhere.   :)

I wasn't for sale. One of those spur of the moment deals.
He had stuff for me, so I made him a part cash/part stuff
deal.  Sorry 'bout that. I have a IIgs upgrade machine you
can buy. Got $350.00 ???

I'm not exactly sure it means anything at all. I just
copied what I saw in some other smartport drive firmware.
Anyway, it still works with the original ROM so forget
that part. LOL
