I too am following up on my recent post. I downloaded the Zip drivers from 
hobbes (v. 2.33), and after cleaning up my config.sys file  (it had 
a line that was looking for an adaptec card as I had noticed that the zip 
zoom scsi is actually made by adaptec. BTW the readme file or the manual 
file that comes with the disk warned me of this), I have my zip up and 
running. My system has 2 EIDE HD's (1 meg and 1.2 meg), a SCSI CD-ROM 
attached to a PAS-16 sound card (trantor SCSI I think), and now my ZIP drive. 
Theyt are configured/partitioned as follows:

drive 1
c: 	primary	100mg	DOS/win3.11	FAT	
c:	primary	250mg	Win95		FAT
d:	logical	250mg	win programs	FAT
e:	logical	250mg	win programs	FAT
f:	logical	150mg	win data files	FAT

drive 2
g:	logical	250mg	OS/2 swapper	HPFS
h:	logical	250mg	OS/2 empty	HPFS
i:	logical	250mg	OS/2 data files	HPFS
j:	logical	250mg	OS/2 programs	HPFS
k:	logical	280mg	OS/2 system	HPFS

CD-ROM (trantor scsi)
l:	2x CD

ZIP drive
m:	logical	100mg	utilities		FAT

The drivers selected the drive letter and I am very pleased as I was 
concerned from reading other posts that it would format itself as a primary 
partition and mess up all my file structures. From what I can tell, under 
warp the ZIP functions just like a floppy and I can change disks whenever I 
want to. 

Now for my question, is there any backup software that does compression that 
would work with this setup and allow me to reboot from floppy then restore 
from the ZIP drive?

Thanks,
Doug
