Problem with ZIP drive

Hi:

I am working on a university winNT network and we are having problems
with zip drive. As a normal user, when one zip is ejected, it keeps the
old files in the memory and if a new zip is inserted, it got corrupted.

I am wondering if anyone had the same problem before.

I don't think that you can actually use a zip drive under NT correctly
NTFS doesn't support it.

Have You checked Iomegas support page?

I've been using a ZIP on my NT machine for the last 5 years or so with no
probs.

I use zips all the time win nt and the only problem I have found is in the
scsi buffer default set up. Originally I would get a phys mem dump but I
adjusted the buffers to minimal settings and I never get those problems
again.
