[Coco] Setting up a ZIP drive w/ superdriver, help!

[Paul T. Barton]

Boisy,

Yes the zip drive works.
It's on the same cable as the CD-R drive;
CD-R = slave, ZIP = Master.

I can see changes in sector 0.
After format, (format /z0 "foobar-1" L r)
I type:
  dump /z0@
and see the name change.

I'll try that PC fix :-)

Thanks, again!!!
