I have a PC with a builtin zip drive. After installing BasiliskII (and copying the IOMEGA driver, incl extension) I'm unable to open a disk as guest. At startup of Basilisk, I sometimes get the message that no Zip drive is found... Is there a special driver required to reside on the removable media itself or is there another problem?
(in the basilisk preferences the scsi enabling is set)
Thankt

If its Linux, you can mount the drive directly,
mount /dev/zip /mnt/maczip -t hfs or similar.
This is also true of hfs (Mac) cdroms, if you want to mount them readable under Linux directly.
something like
mount /dev/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom -t hfs might do the trick
There are a few files system limitations, so not everything works. Your mileage may vary
There is a further problem, in as much as the partition on the zip disk may not be obvious
mount /dev/hdc4 /mnt/zip -t hfs may work better (assuming you have the IDE ZIP as /dev/hdc4 of course)
If you are running Windows I will have to have a think about it.
