They do exactly what they say! In a Macintosh-style maneuver, the Zip drive will whir and spit out the Zip disk after clicking 'eject', and 'Lock' will prevent the disk from being removed either by the 'Eject' command or by pressing the Eject button on the front of the unit itself. Right clicking on this drive object will reveal a few extras in the popup menu (GIF, 6K), most notably 'Eject disk' and 'Lock disk'. You can make a shadow of this on your desktop. The installation program will place a new drive object in your 'Drives' folder.

The drivers install with the "Install Device Drivers" program in OS/2's System Setup folder and only require you to run a onetime utility that scans for the Zip drive and assigns a letter to it. The actually process though, after you've figured it out, is easy enough for anyone to be able to do it.

IOMEGA ZIP 100 DRIVER FREE DOWNLOAD MANUALS

These manuals are written on the technical side and insist on describing the difference between OAD and ADD drivers at the top of each file, so cryptically in fact that most won't be any the wiser even after reading them three or four times through. There are no ASCII text files you can load into your favorite editor, although the browser program does allow you to print out the manuals and jump to certain topics with a pop-up menu. Both are shipped in the same file or on the same disks you download/order from Iomega.ĭocumentation for these drivers come in self-displaying. OAD are what Iomega calls "Open Architecture Drivers."Īll you really need to know is this: If you have the SCSI version of the Zip drive you need the ADD drivers, if you have the Parallel Port version you need the OAD ones. ADD drivers are OS/2's own format and you'll see several such drivers in your CONFIG.SYS like "BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD" for floppy drives, and "BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD" for most IDE hard drives. Installation is also somewhat awkward, requiring you to figure out the difference between ADD and OAD drivers.

The drive ships with DOS, Windows and Mac drivers but OS/2 drivers must either be ordered separately for $9.95 or, fortunately, downloaded free from the Internet or Iomega's BBS or WWW site.

It's unfortunate that such a great puerperal seems to ignore OS/2 users and only grudgingly recognize them when forced to. We reviewed the Parallel Port version that, despite its slower throughput, offers much wider portability. It's available in a version that plugs into the Parallel Port in the back of your computer (with a printer pass-through), or in a SCSI model that offers greater throughput for computers equipped with a SCSI port.

The external model we reviewed has a deep blue/indigo case, curved and sportily designed, built to lay horizontally or propped up on its side. The Zip drive is Iomega's suggestion to replace the lagging and sorely inadequate 1.44meg 3.5" floppy drives we've become so familiar with. But in the last year Iomega has Jazzed up their image and brought out a line of modern, snazzy and one might even say sexy looking peripherals that appeal to the home and small business user for a variety of reasons.
